The Mavro is by far the most planted grape in Cyprus. A workhorse. It produces a lot of juice per hectare. Ideal when millions of liters of 'sherry' were still made in Cyprus for the bottom end of the British market. Those times are gone. Nowadays, the better winemakers on the island make quality Mavro, from the highest vineyards.

Then the Mavro becomes a frolicking thoroughbred. Very light in color (typical for the grape) and with lots of raspberry fruit and strawberry. Slightly sweet, pleasantly fresh and dry. A trace of tannin gives it structure.
