Deep ruby red in colour, this is a wine with plenty of richness but never feels overdone. Layers of dark fruit and a hint of chocolate fill the palate, while six months in seasoned oak bring extra texture without overpowering the Agiorgitiko grape's natural character. Velvety tannins and fresh acidity keep everything beautifully balanced, leading to a long, smooth finish that cries out for good food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-cooked lamb with rosemary and garlic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeef stifado or grilled pork souvlaki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged hard cheeses such as Kefalotyri or mature Cheddar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Agiorgitiko has real class when it's grown in the right places, and this bottle proves it.
