🍇 AGIORGITIKO: The Soul of Nemea
Rooted in Legend, Raised in Altitude
AGIORGITIKO, known as “St. George’s grape,” carries centuries of reverence in its name—whether in homage to the chapel of Saint George nestled in Nemea or the festive spirit of Saint George’s Day, celebrated each November in the Eastern Orthodox tradition. As of 2012, it stood proudly as Greece’s most widely planted red grape, a testament to its enduring appeal and versatility.
Crafted with Precision
The vinification process begins with a cold soak at 12°C, allowing the grape pulp to rest and release delicate aromas. Fermentation follows at 23°C, carefully monitored until the optimal extraction of phenolic compounds is achieved—resulting in a wine of vivid color, layered structure, and a bold aromatic profile.
Terroir of the Stymfalia Plateau
Grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Stymfalia, AGIORGITIKO thrives in deep, clay-rich alkaline soils enriched with calcium carbonate. Yields are purposefully limited to just 900 kg per acre, ensuring concentration and character in every grape. The climate is dramatic and expressive:
• ❄️ Cold, snowy winters
• 🌱 Cool, rain-fed springs
• ☀️ Dry summers with hot days and refreshingly cool nights
This unique diurnal shift intensifies the grape’s aromatic complexity and preserves its natural acidity—hallmarks of a truly elegant red.
🍇 AGIORGITIKO：尼米亞的靈魂
源於傳說，孕育於高地
AGIORGITIKO，又稱「聖喬治葡萄」，其名稱承載著數百年的敬意——或是向坐落於尼米亞的聖喬治教堂致敬，或是呼應每年十一月東正教慶祝的聖喬治日。截至2012年，它已成為希臘種植最廣泛的紅葡萄品種，展現出其持久魅力與多樣性。
精準釀造，匠心獨具
釀造工序始於12°C的低溫浸漬，使葡萄果肉充分釋放細緻香氣。隨後於23°C進行發酵，全程精密監控，直至酚類化合物充分萃取，造就色澤鮮明、結構層次分明、香氣濃郁的紅酒。
斯廷法利亞高原的風土
AGIORGITIKO種植於斯廷法利亞高原的葡萄園中，土壤深厚、富含黏土且呈鹼性，並富含碳酸鈣。每英畝產量嚴格控制在900公斤以內，確保每顆葡萄皆具濃縮風味與鮮明個性。當地氣候極具戲劇性與表現力：
• ❄️ 冬季寒冷，降雪豐沛
• 🌱 春季涼爽，雨水滋潤
• ☀️ 夏季乾燥，白天炎熱、夜晚清涼
這種日夜溫差強烈的氣候條件，進一步提升葡萄的香氣層次，並保留其天然酸度——成就真正優雅的紅酒典範
