100% Agiorgitiko. Agiorgitiko, also know as St. George, is a grape
native to the Nemea region in the northeastern part of the Péloponnèse.
It is also known as one of the two great heat resistant indigenous reds
along with Xinomavro. The wines of Agiorgitiko can range from very soft
and plumy to big and bold with firm tannins and very dark in color. The
Gaia Estate is respected as one of the top wineries in Greece and this
wine shows they can produce a delicious uncomplicated red that is soft
and juicy with a spicy and fruity nose reminiscent of some Rhone wines.
