Harvested from select, mature, low-yielding vines in the hills of the Koutsi region of Nemea. The vineyards are non-irrigated, and are located on a ten-degree slope facing West-Southwest. These conditions offer the ideal environment for producing small clusters of small, thick-skinned berries with more serious, concentrated fruit flavors and characteristically ?spicy? notes. Agiorgitiko by Gaia is a well-structured wine with intense ripe fruit aromas and well-integrated oak flavors. Under proper cellar conditions, it can be aged 2-4 years after release, evolving an even more velvety and complex palate.
| Wine maker notes |
| Having created two different wines from the world class Agiorgitiko grape, NOTIOS Red, a wine designed to be enjoyed in its youth, and GAIA ESTATE, a wine with a long ageing potential, we knew that we had not fully expressed the potential of this versatile variety. Thus, we have bridged the gap and added to our portfolio AGIORGITIKO BY GAIA, a wine that was the missing link of that admirable chain of wines produced by Agiorgitiko. AGIORGITIKO BY GAIA is a well-structured wine with intense ripe fruit aromas and well-integrated oak flavours. Under proper cellar conditions, it can be aged 2-4 years after release evolving into a velvety and more composite wine. AGIORGITIKO BY GAIA pairs best with red meat dishes that are rich, intense and spicy, at a temperature between 16 and 18C. |
| Producer |
| One of the pioneers of the modern Greek wine revolution, Gai?a Estate (pronounced Yay-ya) was established in 1994 by Leon Karatsalos and winemaker Yiannis Paraskevopoulos. Their mission was to capture the best that Greece?s indigenous grapes have to offer by merging traditional viticultural and production methods with innovative techniques. The estate is named after ?Mother Earth,? in honor of the unique terroir that gives birth to these world-class wines. |
