Nemea
For the creation of NOTIOS RED two perfectly complementary varieties of the Southern Mediterranean were combined, varieties that have been cultivated for years in the Gaia vineyards, in Koutsi, Nemea.
In this blend, Agiorgitiko gives its intense fruity aroma and its soft tannins, while Syrah, which is perfectly adjusted to the climate of the region provides its rich and spicy character along with its sense of structure and depth.
Its deep reddish-violet color, its complex aroma and taste intensity makes it a perfect accompaniment of a wide range of spicy and intense dishes.
This young wine is best enjoyed at low temperature of 10°- 14°C, even during the hot months of summer.

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.

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.
