Wines made from Agiorgitiko grapes of Ilia
Discover the best wines made with Agiorgitiko as a single variety or as a blend of Ilia.
Supple and structured reds with a deep ruby colour, melted tannins and moderate acidity, on intense aromas of ripe red and black fruits (cherry, plum, blackberry), sweet spices, Mediterranean herbs and balsamic notes. Made as young approachable reds, fresh rosés and barrel-aged keepers. The absolute star of Nemea PDO in the Peloponnese (Greece's flagship red appellation). Native Greek variety, one of the most widely planted in the country.
PGI (2004) of north-west Peloponnese around Olympia, fertile plains and hills from 10 to 700 m irrigated by the Alfios and Pinios rivers, humid Mediterranean climate. Roditis and Avgoustiatis are the autochthonous signatures — Roditis as a pale pink-tinged white with lively citrus notes, stone fruit and a floral hint. Mavrodaphne full-bodied and liqueur-like in reds. Refosco, Agiorgitiko and Merlot in fleshy reds with red fruits and spices.
