Also known as St. George, Agiorgitiko is one of the most famous Greek red varieties. Grown on the hillsides of Nemea for more than 2,500 years, the reds from this area have sometimes been known as "the blood of Hercules," purported to have given him the strength to slay the infamous Lion of Nemea. Agiorgitiko produces food-friendly wines such as Kouros Nemea - elegant, medium-bodied, with a core of fresh berries and plums and balancing tannins. |
