The wine region of Korinthos
IGP of the north-east Peloponnese (Corinthia) between the Gulf of Corinth and Mount Kyllini, rolling hills close to Athens. Agiorgitiko native signature red: supple and fruity with cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, spice and herbal hints, round tannins and medium acidity — from everyday drinking to cellar-worthy, versatile in sweet and sparkling. Roditis rosé-grey signature white with citrus and melon. Floral Moschofilero, Chardonnay and Sauvignon as complements.
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: Sorting
Action which consists in removing the bad grains, not ripe or affected by the rot. We often use vibrating sorting tables which, by shaking, make the impurities fall to the ground. In the case of sweet wines, we speak of harvesting by successive selections, in several passages, to select the very ripe grapes each time.
