At the top of the steep southwestern slopes of Koutsi, we cultivate our Agiorgitiko vines to create red wine with an exceptional personality and great aging potential. We aim to extract all the compounds needed in a really small number of grapes.
The winemaking is done in such a way that the already dense grape can be expressed in wine in the most absolute and complete way. The very long extraction after fermentation is the key point of the first phase of vinification. Afterward, the new wine will mature for at least 12 months in new 225-liter French oak casks. The origin of the forest and the degree of burning, the way of cutting the used wood, and every small detail, have been examined and chosen so we eventually get a wine with a highly complex personality.
Ultimately, GAIA ESTATE is bottled directly from the barrel without prior treatments such as chilling or filtration. In this way, we preserve the best of all the essential elements of our wine.
GAIA ESTATE has a deep red-black color, a complex, and intense aromatic profile with elements of fruit, wood, vanilla, and carnation. Its mouth-filling, volume, body, structure, and flavor complement the character of this unusual Nemea.
This is, without a doubt, an aging wine. Under proper cellar conditions and temperatures 12ο-14οC it will continue to evolve into an even better and more structured wine for the next 20 years.
Remember to spend GAIA ESTATE in a decanting, at least half an hour before you enjoy it. Its new dimension that will emerge will excite you!
It is ideally paired with grilled red meat, red meat cooked in red sauce or with mushrooms, poultry cooked in red sauce, and aged cheeses.
