Semeli is one of the most historic wineries of Nemea and the Grande Reserve is its most premium Agiorgitiko. Produced from the privately owned vines in Koutsi at an altitude of 650, it is aged for 18 months in new oak barrels and matures for at least 24 months in the bottle. A great aging Nemea that combines very nicely the ripe elements with the freshness of the fruit. The magnum bottle helps it develop more slowly over time, acquiring a particularly complex character.

Distinct and serious, but still a crowd-pleasing modern red wine, with deep color, red fruit aromas and sweet spices. Aivalis is one of the most idiosynchratic Nemean producers and Monopati is a top-example of Agiorgitiko, very difficult not to like.

The vineyards on the plateau of Stymfalia in mountainous Corinth give amazing fruit and an exuberant wine, where Agiorgitiko puts its extroversion and fruity character and Cabernet Sauvignon the strength and structure. The wine matures for several months in oak barrels and having acquired extra complexity comes to our table to take off any meat-eating meal. But it is also one of the wines that can evolve in the bottle for years and reward us for our patience.
