Greece — wine

Nemea

The Peloponnese's most important wine appellation, dedicated exclusively to Agiorgitiko (St. George's grape) — a rich, velvety red variety producing wines from light roses to powerful, age-worthy reds. Three altitude zones (200-900m) create dramatically different expressions from the same grape.

Year Rating Notes
2022 Outstanding vintage; high-altitude Agiorgitiko showed extraordinary structure and complexity.
2021 Elegant vintage with good acid retention; medium-altitude wines of exceptional finesse.
2020 Classic Nemea conditions; Gaia Estate produced one of its finest vintages.
2019 Benchmark year for all altitude zones; the upper Nemea (Koutsi) wines showed Burgundian elegance.
2018 Solid vintage; oak-aged Agiorgitiko from this year showed exceptional integration and depth.
