Don't you mean "Mavrodaphne" - "black laurel"?





"Mavrodaphne is a rich, dark dessert wine, similar to a port. This romantic wine has a romantic story to match. Supposedly, a German winemaker owned some vineyards in Greece, where the crop was primarily the Mavro variety of grapes. Almost against his will, he found himself falling in love with one of the grape pickers he employed, a beautiful Greek maiden named Daphne. Before he could make up his mind to tell her of his love, the girl sickened and died. Heartbroken, the vintner named his wine after the two things he most loved - the Mavro grapes, and the maiden Daphne."
