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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
