The grape, Agiorgitiko, is also known as “St. George" because the villagers of Nemea found it grew well in the valley, housing a chapel of that name. This Agiorgitiko is bright and elegant, with intermingling spice and fruit aromas. It has an elegant structure, is gentle and round on the palate, and has delicate and ripe tannins. The red fruit flavors combine with subtle spicy hints of cinnamon and cloves. It is an alluring combination of mouthwatering freshness and lingering minerality.
