From: Nemea, Greece
Varietal: Agiorgitiko
Tasting Notes: The color is bright, deep morello cherry-red. The nose reveals aromas of blackberries, raspberries, and ripe strawberries with just a touch of aniseed and spices such as clove and cinnamon. It is a medium-bodied wine with elegant structure, balanced acidity, and very ripe, elegant tannins. The finish is moderately-long, dominated by red fruits and followed by sweet vanilla and black pepper.
Argolida Valley in Peloponnesos is a blessed land full of nature's gifts: world-famous for its citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, tangerines), its olive oil, and olives, it is now fast becoming synonymous with our wines also. George Skouras, proprietor, oenologist, and winemaker at Domaine Skouras studied oenology at the University of Dijon. He went to work for a number of wineries in France, Italy, and Greece before setting up his own in Pyrgela in Argolida Valley in 1987.
