- Concentrated damson fruit enhanced by orange peel together with floral and herbal pine notes, robust, layered and richly expressive. With sweet fruits and a rich, velvety texture, this delivers great depth and complexity. It is a rich and expressive wine with concentrated notes of red and black fruits, vanilla, black pepper, and violet enveloped in powerful yet smooth tannins that go through to a long, smooth finish.
The Agiorgitiko grapes were cold-soaked and macerated for approximately 20 days to ensure the desired colour, flavour and aromatic extraction levels. Fermentation occurred with selected yeasts in traditional oak fermenters at 22 to 28°C. The wine underwent 100% malolactic conversion, followed by 18 to 20 months of maturation in mostly new French oak casks. The wine was bottled without fining or filtration.

| Winery | Agiorgitiko is a fragrant red grape variety native to Greece's Peloponnese Peninsula. The grapes are cultivated in a seven-hectare single-estate vineyard in Koutsi, Nemea, situated 550 metres above sea level. The 40-year-old vines are trained according to the Spur Cordon method, and the yields are kept low at 45 to 48 hectolitres per hectare. The soils have a layer of approximately 75cm of clay over a limestone bed. The grapes are manually harvested. |
