 Amorghiano Wine

Amorghiano is a black-skinned red wine grape found in particular on the island of Rhodes in the Aegean Islands of Greece. It probably better known as the Mandelaria found on the mainland and on various other Greek islands.

The Amorghiano/Mandelaria variety has grapes with thick grape skins which contain high levels of tannin and the anthocyanins which give the bluish-red hue to red wines. As such, wines made from the grape are able to stand alone, without the need of help from other varieties to enhance color, structure or flavor. That said, the pronounced tannins associated with Amorghiano grapes and the wines they make may be undesirable to some palates, so softer wines are produced by blending it with such varieties as Kotsifali.

Red wines from hot dry climates such as the Greek islands are not lacking in tannins or alcohol, but may be low in acidity or unbalanced when bottled on their own. This is why varieties are often blended, to produce a wine that is in balance and ready to drink at the appropriate age.

Synonyms for Amorghiano include Mandelaria and Mandelari, and styles are mostly dry red but some sweet red wines are produced. The region of Peza in Crete produces red wines from this variety, using the name Mandelaria.
