MONOGRAPH AGIORGITIKO
Nemea PGI Peloponnese
Our MONOGRAPH AGIORGITIKO is crafted exclusively from Agiorgitiko grapes grown in the rolling hills surrounding Nemea within the PGI Peloponnese zone. Cultivated at an altitude of 500 meters on semi-mountainous terrain, these vineyards produce naturally low yields, never exceeding 12,000 kg per hectare, concentrating the grape’s character.
This red wine reveals a vivid red-purple hue and presents a refined aromatic profile of medium intensity, showcasing distinctive notes of prickly pear, pomegranate, and a hint of butterscotch. On the palate, it is smooth and approachable, with soft tannins and a lingering fruity finish.
Enjoy MONOGRAPH AGIORGITIKO alongside medium to intensely flavored dishes, or simply as a refreshing aperitif. It is also perfect for warm weather when served chilled between 10–12°C.
For our MONOGRAPH AGIORGITIKO we choose Agiorgitiko grapes from the hills surrounding Nemea. The yields of our semi-mountainous vineyards at a 500 m altitude are relatively low and never exceed 12,000 kg per hectare.
With careful winemaking a complex and pleasant red wine, characterized by a red-purple color, with aromas of medium intensity, unique clarity and finesse is created.
Relatively complex for its youth, aromas oscillate between prickly pear, pomegranate and butterscotch. A particularly smooth taste, with soft tannins and a fruity aftertaste.

It consists of a shallow (70-80cm) clay layer that lies upon the lime mother soil with relatively neutral ph. Low organic content, like most of the limestone soils in Greece. On the slopes of the hills where most of the vineyards are located, the soils drain quite well but are exposed to erosion.
Cold and humid winters with low temperatures that rarely drop below the freezing point. Summers are warm, without excessively high temperatures and with few showers during June. Typically, a long Indian type autumn follows the summer. The warm September days with significantly colder nights and the dry conditions synthesize an ideal weather pattern for a good maturation. The total rain precipitations (600-700mm annually) occur mainly between October and March.
