Mavrotragano

A rare red jewel of Santorini, Mavrotragano was traditionally used in sweet wines before modern winemakers recognized its potential for dry reds. Grown in the island’s volcanic soils, it produces intensely structured wines with dark cherry, blackberry, and smoky mineral notes. The combination of firm tannins, high acidity, and saline complexity makes it a striking expression of its windswept terroir. Still planted in small quantities, it has gained cult status among those seeking distinctive, age-worthy Greek reds. With careful vinification, Mavrotragano balances its power with finesse, offering a captivating taste of Santorini’s dramatic landscape.
