This red has a plummy, juicy nose that leads into a fresh, tart blend of cherry and strawberry. Fresh and fruity, it’s an approachable red with added character.

A full-bodied rosé reflective of the cherry and berry Agiorgitiko character. The nose offers a fresh, fragrant but earthy strawberry, rhubarb and floral element, and flavors of lush cherry mingle with a clean acidity, giving the wine dimension with a light touch.

Freshly crushed raspberry and darker red fruit aromas waft from this deeply colored rosé. The wine has light tannins but lacks the acidity to lift the dark pomegranate flavors.

A single vineyard wine with plenty of oak nuances, this shows darker flavors than other Agiorgitikos: Blueberry mixes with the telltale cherry, while vanilla caresses the whole. Strong tannins envelop a medium-bodied wine with good acidity, while the nose offers supple blackberry and blueberry fruit, vanilla and some meaty notes.

This well-oaked Chardonnay is plump and custardy in the mouth, with standard pear, cinnamon and butter flavors all enveloped in a large helping of vanilla.

Surprisingly low-acid compared to most Greek whites, with exotic tropical fruit aromas and flavors, maybe even some bananas. Hints of almonds, pears and vanilla round out the flavors on the finish.

Artfully oaked, this Agiorgitiko-based wine boasts hints of cinnamon, clove and even a dash of coconut. Cherries and pears give a unique quality to the fruit, while the tannins are soft and impart a creamy texture to this admittedly international-style wine.

With its firm acids and modest tannins, tart cherries and worn leather, this is a natural burger wine—something assertive enough to pair with strong, simple flavors without being overwhelmed, yet not so complex as to demand finer fare.
