Domaine Skouras Nemea Aghiorghtiko 2014
Nemea, Peloponnese, GreeceGermany has nothing on Greece when it comes to wine and grape names as evidenced by this mouthful of a red grape name: agiorgitiko. The fact is it’s about the only struggle you should have with this wine. It’s fermented and macerated in stainless steel vats before ageing in 50 percent used French barrels and 50 percent stainless steel for 12 months, followed by a few more months in bottle at the winery. Old-ish vines (31 years) are grown over clay soils at various altitudes from 250-1000 meters, shaping a generous, soft, round red that fills the mouth. Think pinot noir structure and dusty red fruits with bits of raspberries, brown spices and licorice. A light, quaffable style that would be a versatile luncheon red or party wine.Tasted: 20 April 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $34.69 | 750ml | Marquis Wine Cellars |
