RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

https://www.vivc.de/index.php?r=akzessionen%2Fviewacc&id=57047

Mandilaria is a black-skinned red grape most commonly grown on the Greek island of Rhodes, in the Aegean Sea. It also grown on the mainland and other Greek islands, where it is known by various names, including Mantilari, Mandelaria and Amorghiano. Mandilaria grapes have thick skins full of polyphenols, notably tannins (responsible for the wines' drying, grippy texture) and anthocyanins (which account for their deep coloration).

Amorgiano; Pariano; Vaftra; Koundoura Black; Mandilari: These are but a few of the names of the late-harvested red grape Mandilaria variety and serve as testimonials to the extent to which the variety has spread throughout Greece and the Greek isles in particular.
