The grapes are inoculated with autochthone yeasts selected from the Nemea region. This is followed by a long stay with the grape skins, for almost 20 days, at relatively low temperatures in order to preserve the fruity aromatic characteristics and to extract only the fine tannins. After the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the malolactic fermentation follows.
For 12 months in 1/3 new French oak barrels exclusively from the Bertrange forest, located in the heart of Nevers forest followed by 6 months in the bottle. It is bottled unfiltered without any prior processing
Ageing potential: Our strong belief is that there is no ageing limit for the "Old Vines". Under proper ageing conditions, it will continue to develop towards a more velvety and complex character.
Old Vines" is the result of selected Agiorgitiko from relatively old vineyards from the hills surrounding the Nemea plain and a long extraction at relatively low temperatures. The resulting red wine is characterized by deep red-violet colour and aromas of gooseberry, pomegranate and black tea. It is full-bodied, and well balanced with velvety tannins while leaving a pleasant flavour of spice notes.
It pairs perfectly grilled meats, game and fatty cheeses. It is best served at around 14 degrees Celsius.
