- A smooth and concentrated red packed with ripe red fruit flavours combined with desiccated coconut and herbal nuances through to a spicy finish. Agiorgitiko is the red grape of Nemea, making silky smooth, fruit-packed reds with a velvety finish. This Cuvee shows intense aromatic finesse evolving from ripe berries and gooseberry to caramel and discreet oak nuances. Soft tannins underline a rich, well-structured, velvety body.
Selected grapes were hand-picked, destemmed and crushed, followed by a cold soak for approximately 48 hours at 10°C. The must was inoculated with selected yeasts and fermented for approximately two weeks at 22 to 26°C, with regular pump-overs and some cap plunging. The malolactic conversion followed, and the wine was aged in oak casks for 12 months, of which 90% was French oak (10% new), and 10% was American oak (10% new). The wine was cold-stabilised before being cellared.

| Winery | Agiorgitiko is a fragrant red wine grape native to Greece's Peloponnese peninsula. The vineyards are located near Koutsi, a semi-mountainous village known for its chalky soils and good drainage. The cool temperatures, ideal sun exposure, and steep inclination of the vineyards combine to produce lower yields than other parts of Nemea, but the berries have an excellent flavour concentration. |
