A "big" expression of Mavrodaphne!

Why do we love it?

Dry Mavrodafni wines have finally become fashionable, and Sarris Winery’s “Megali Petra” is a limited-production dry Mavrodafni from Kefalonia, offering the best way to appreciate the variety’s authentic character.


It originates from the 55-year-old “Melissa” vineyard in Minies, with clay soils at zero altitude, right next to the waves and the saltiness of the Ionian Sea. For “Megali Petra,” winemaking involves minimal interventions, without the use of barrels, preserving the purity of the fruit to the maximum extent.

 

Prepare for abundant red and black fruit with herbal notes and freshness—even before tasting it…

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby color. On the nose, aromas of black fruits, such as black cherry and blackberry, are accompanied by hints of herbs and sweet spices.

On the palate, its medium body harmonizes nicely with balanced acidity and velvety tannins, while the finish offers a long, fruity aftertaste that lingers.

MEGALI PETRA 2023 - SARRIS WINERY

PAIR IT

with red meats such as beef steak, lamb, and goat, as well as game dishes like wild boar stew or venison in a red sauce.

It also complements spicy cured meats, aged cheeses, and rich slow-cooked dishes like coq au vin or beef giouvetsi.

Roast beef with spices and red wine sauce

  • 2 tbsps. of peppercorns
  • 2 tbsps. of black or white mustard seeds
  • 2 tbsps. of fennel seeds
  • 1.5 kilos of beef fillet
  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of wholegrain or English (preferably gluten-free) mustard
  • 3 coarsely chopped red onions along with the peels
  • A pinch of thyme

For the sauce:

 

  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 with 2 tsps of corn flour
  • 2 beef stock cubes
  • 3-4 tbsp red currant jelly
  • 400ml red wine

Two days ago, grind the pepper and the mustard and fennel seeds using a mortar. Brush the fillet with mustard and then roll it to freshly ground pepper. Cover with cling film and place it in the fridge.

Two hours before you start cooking, take the meat out of the refrigerator to reach room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 180C. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and cook the meat until it gets a beautiful brown color. Use onions in the casserole as the base and place the meat on top of them. Bake for 20 minutes for medium or 35 minutes for a well-done beef.

Remove the beef from the casserole and place it on a platter covered with foil for 30 minutes to keep it warm. Put the casserole on the heat and along with the onions and meat juices, add the corn flour and the beef stock cubes. Stir the jelly and gradually pour the wine while stirring. Simmer until the liquid is reduced. Strain the sauce and remove the onions. Slice the beef, flavor it with thyme and serve with the red wine sauce.
