Agiorgitiko by Gaia 2018
Agiorgitiko is the red grape of Nemea, arguably Greece's most important red wine appellation, where it produces silky smooth, fruit-packed reds with a velvety finish. Aged for up to 8 months in oak and then a further 6 months rest in bottle before release the Agiorgitiko by Gaia shows intense aromatic finesse evolving from ripe berries and gooseberry through to caramel and discreet oak nuances. Soft tannins underline a rich, well structured velvety body.
