From: Nemea, Greece
Varietal: Agiorgitiko
Tasting Notes: A delightful introduction to the Agiorgitiko varietal, this red-purple wine has a fruit-forward, medium-bodied palate, ripe with flavors of cherry, pomegranate, and a hint of butterscotch. It is easy-going with smooth, soft tannins and a fruity finish.
Pairing: This red is an excellent accompaniment to spicy foods and red meat dishes.
GAIA WINES was founded in 1994 by Leon Karatsalos and Yiannis Paraskevopoulos.
Thalassitis, a Santorini A.O.C. white wine, inaugurated the company's first appearance and quickly won a place in the Greek wine market. The 9,800 numbered bottles of Thalassitis in 1994, rapidly rose to more than 100,000 in 1999, all the while maintaining its commitment to quality.
In 1996 GAIA WINES acquired a private vineyard in Koutsi region of Nemea, along with a perfectly equipped winery of a total capacity of 3.000hl.
