In the vineyards:
At the lowest point of the vineyards of Ancient Nemea we grow Agiorgitiko with a distinctive way in order to achieve the fewer colours possible and the greatest primary aromatic compounds in the skins. Harvesting takes place early in the morning and the grapes stay into a cooling room at 5o C for 12 hours.

Vinification
Traditional red vinification using pre-fermentation’s infusion method for two days, afterwards white vinification method and strict control of temperature.

Comments from the winemaker:
Agiorgitiko confirms its versatile nature producing apart from full bodied red wines also excellent rose. Aromas of strawberries, cherries and goose berries, combined with citrus aromas. Acidity that refreshes and tones up the palate, fruity aftertaste with discreet tannins. A delicate wine able to accompany any dish.

Food Suggestions: meat with aromatic sauces, pasta, cooked vegetables and cheeses
