Domaine Papagiannakos, ‘Erythros’ Agiorgitiko/Cabernet Sauvignon
Markopoulo | Greece
Rich bramble fruit characters, and finely structured with well-integrated French oak, fine tannins, a light savoury note and a blackcurrant pastille twist on the finish.
About the Producer
Both the indigenous Agiorgitiko grapes and Cabernet Sauvignon are sourced from old vines cultivated in the clay soils of gently sloping Peloponnese vineyards, at around 300m altitude. Each grape is vinified separately. After a 5-day pre-fermentation cold soak, the must undergoes a 15 day vinification at controlled temperatures. After a 6 month maturation in new French oak barrels the blending of Agiorgitiko and Cabernet Sauvignon takes place.
Food Pairing
Great with steak, or try lamb-stuffed peppers.

Fun Fact
The wine made from Agiorgitiko is nicknamed the “Blood of Hercules” because of the legend that after the Greek hero slayed the Nemean lion, it was the local Nemean wine made from Agiorgitiko that he consumed.
