GOLD Berliner Wein Trophy 2017
Produced from the indigenous Agiorgitiko (St. George) grapes grown in ancient Nemea region in Peloponnese. 750-900m altitude. Small vineyards
After ageing for 24 months in the bottle in cellars, this rare full bodied wine boasts aromas of red fruits syrup and spices wrapped in robust but well-balanced tannins supported by long aftertaste of roasted nuts.
Best served at 17°C combined with red meat stews and yellow cheese platters, including tradition Greek smoked cheeses from Metsovo or Vermio.
The nose is highly aromatic with pretty rose floral, red cherry, sweet oak spices, and clove notes, all of which come through in a pleasing fashion on the medium+ bodied palate, with smooth refined tannins and very good acidity. A touch hot mid-palate. Excellent finish length. Tasted May/2017.
