Tasting Notes

At the top of the steep southwestern slopes of Koutsi, we cultivate our Agiorgitiko with an eye towards the creation of a red wine with an exceptional personality and great aging potential. A very long extraction is key to the vinification, followed by maturation for at least 12 months in small French oak casks. Unfiltered, unfined. This wine has a deep red-black colour, complex and intense aromatic profile with elements of fruit, wood, vanilla and carnation. Deeply flavorful with notes of both red and black fruits, and virtually perfect in how the fruit is balanced by tannin and wood. Mouth-filling, volume, body, structure and flavour complement the character of this unusual Nemea.
