Wine description:

Saint George red is made from the grapes of the excellent variety Agiorgitiko.It is one of the most commercially important indigenous Greek varieties, and it can take on a large range of characteristics, from soft to very tannic, depending on factors in the growing and winemaking processes.

The grapes are from our vineyards in the slopes of Velies. Their basic characteristics are the high alcohol content, the deep ruby color, the good ripe tannins and the fruity, smoke nose. The sort passage in new oak barrels gives to the wine the butter caramel and a discreet wood fragrance.
