The Agiorgitiko grape varietal is grown widely throughout Greece and certain other countries, and is prized for the fact it is highly heat resistant, and can thrive on even quite arid and infertile land. It has been cultivated for millennia in the Nemea region of the Peloponnese mountains, where it remains highly popular to this day. It is a grape varietal which can take on wide range of characteristics, from highly tannic and astringent to rather soft and rounded, and responds well to a variety of wine making techniques and methods. Typically, the Agiorgitiko grape varietal produces wines which are quite spicy, and hold plummy and dark fruit flavors It has been successfully blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, and is a popular grape varietal in many countries around the world.
Country
Greece
As one of the oldest wine producing countries in the world, Greece has millenia of experience and expertise when it comes to viticulture, and has developed a set of flavors and characteristics which are found nowhere else on earth. The ancient Greeks revered and deified wine, and were the first true innovators in the history of wine, adding everything from seawater to honey and spices in order to find exciting new taste combinations and aromas. Today, Greek wines are just as varied, although far more refined and sophisticated than their ancient counterparts. The practice of enhancing Greek wines with aromatic substances never left the country, though, as can be seen in the popular Retsina wines, which use pine resin to provide their unique taste and aroma combinations. There is far more to Greek wine than merely Retsina, however, and the vast variety on offer is a testament to the expertise of Greek wineries making the most of the wonderful climate, terrain and grape varietals they work with.

Winery Notes
For our MONOGRAPH AGIORGITIKO we choose Agiorgitiko grapes from the hills surrounding Nemea. The yields of our semi-mountainous vineyards at a 500 m altitude are relatively low and never exceed 12,000 kg per hectare.
With careful winemaking a complex and pleasant red wine, characterized by a red-purple color, with aromas of medium intensity, unique clarity and finesse is created.
Relatively complex for its youth, aromas oscillate between prickly pear, pomegranate and butterscotch. A particularly smooth taste, with soft tannins and a fruity aftertaste.
Pair it with cuisine of medium or even high intensity or on its own as an aperitif. A youthful wine, which can also be enjoyed during warm summer months when served at a low temperature of 10°-12 ° C.
