Medium to clear red, looks medium to light bodied. Initally on the nose there are candied cherries and musk. A little alcoholic. Very bright red fruit flavours and sweet spices are rounded out with the tang of nicely tart acids. Maybe that's vanilla I'm tasting but not oak. Not much tannin. The finish drops off fairly quickly and suddenly. The Grenache influence is clear. Refreshingly different. I'm drinking this to herald in winter, but it would be ideal on a hot summer's day with a rustic barbeque.

Agiorgitiko: One of the most noble of the Greek red grapes, Agiorghitiko (meaning St.George's) is grown mainly in the AOC region Nemea in the Peloponnese. It produces wines that stand out for their deep red color and remarkable aromatic complexity. Agiorghitiko’s soft tannins, in combination with its balanced acidity lead to the production of many different styles of wine, ranging from fresh aromatic reds to extraordinary aged reds. It also produces pleasant aromatic rosé wines. Agiorgitiko is generally planted in dry, infertile soil, in order to encourage the production of fewer but more concentrated grapes, and ripens after mid-September.
