The wine region of Nemea
Flagship Peloponnese appellation (north-east) and Greece's largest red PDO: exclusive signature Agiorgitiko in red (Saint George grape) — deep ruby with concentrated signature aromas of cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, plum and a cassis touch, spicy profile, moderate acidity and generous fruit. Versatile style — light, easy reds to drink young, complex age-worthy reds, sometimes sweet. PDO Nemea, varied altitude, signature diurnal swings, late-ripening grape.
The wine region of Peloponnesos
Southern Greece, the country's 2nd region by volume, high-altitude vineyards (200-900 m). Signature Agiorgitiko at Nemea ("Hercules' Blood"): deep ruby reds with signature notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry, sweet spices and a balsamic touch, supple tannins and a velvety palate — fleshy and accessible. At Mantinia (600 m), pink-skinned Moschofilero gives aromatic whites (rose, citrus, white flowers). Sweet fortified Mavrodaphne, fresh Roditis.
The word of the wine: Bitter
Normal for certain young red wines rich in tannin, bitterness is in other cases a defect due to a bacterial disease.
