Agiorgitiko

2008 Peloponnese Agiorgitiko

The Monemvasia Winery Agiorgitiko from the exquisite Peloponnese region is a captivating red wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Agiorgitiko varietal. Hailing from the celebrated 2008 vintage, this wine is medium-bodied with a balance that offers just the right amount of structure without overwhelming the palate. Its acidity is bright and refreshing, contributing to its lively and mouthwatering profile. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of ripe blackberries and cherries, rounded out by subtle hints of spice and earth. Tannins are firm yet smooth, providing a solid backbone that complements the wine's vibrant character. This dry wine not only pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes but also invites exploration, making it a true delight for enthusiasts and casual sippers alike.

Greece

One of the most historic wine-producing countries, Greece is a cradle of modern wine culture. While today its wines do not enjoy the same reputation as some of its other European neighbors, Greece and its unique indigenous grape varieties are enjoying a Renaissance. White wine drinkers will love the floral Debina and peachy Malagousia from the cooler, wetter north of the country. Or head down to the sun-kissed Aegean islands for spellbinding Assyrtiko, with flavors ranging from passionfruit and mineral to oak and pineapple. For red wine lovers, southern Greece grows the herbaceous Agiorgitiko, while the sublime Xinomavro of the north—often referred to as "Greece's Barolo"—offers dark cherry and licorice notes.
