GAIA S
PGI Peloponnese
From the storied vineyards of the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Peloponnese, two exceptional grape varieties—Agiorgitiko (70%) and Syrah (30%)—come together to create a bold, structured, and generous red wine that reflects the depth and diversity of the region.
Agiorgitiko, native to the Peloponnese, brings richness, velvety texture, and complex layers of ripe black fruit and warm spices. Syrah, thriving in the same sun-soaked terroir, adds structure, intensity, and notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and earthy undertones. Together, they form a harmonious blend that is both powerful and refined.
Aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels (first and second use), followed by an additional 5 months of bottle maturation, this wine develops remarkable depth, smooth tannins, and a long, resonant finish. It is unfiltered, preserving its full character and integrity.
With an ageing potential of up to 20 years, this wine is built to evolve—rewarding patience with even greater complexity, elegance, and expression of its Peloponnesian roots.
This is not just a blend—it’s a tribute to the synergy of two noble varieties and the unique terroir of the PGI Peloponnese.

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.
Owned 40 years old in the semi-mountainous commune KOUTSI in NEMEA, at an altitude of 450-550 m with an intense slope # 15% & N-S.W direction. This vineyard is pruned very strictly in order to reduce its high fertile buds.
The winery was built in 1997 at the heart of the private vineyard in Koutsi, Nemea at an altitude of 550m. Our winery in Koutsi is housed in a contemporary industrial building with magnificent views of the plains of Nemea and the valley of Asopos River, around 350m below. Its capacity is 3,060 hectoliters while its production equipment and the high-quality control systems offer to the oenologist every state-of-the-art instrument for a vertical production of high quality wines.
