  • Medium-bodied profile with 13.5% alcohol, balanced acidity, and rounded tannins
  • Aromatic notes of blackberry, black raspberry, ripe strawberry, tobacco, clove, and cinnamon
  • Controlled fermentation at 23°C with complete malolactic fermentation in barrel
  • Elegant finish featuring red fruits, sweet vanilla, and hints of black pepper

Vineyard & Winemaking Details

The grapes for this Nemea originate from vineyards in Corinthia at 650 meters elevation, where clay-dominant soils and cooler temperatures preserve natural acidity and aromatic complexity. Vines averaging 34 years of age produce limited yields of 900 kilograms per hectare (54 hectoliters per hectare), concentrating flavor in each berry.

Mid-September harvest captures optimal ripeness while maintaining freshness. Alcoholic fermentation and extraction take place in stainless steel tanks at 23°C over 12 days total maceration time. Complete malolactic fermentation occurs in barrel, softening the wine's structure. The wine then matures for 12 months in second-use French oak barriques, allowing subtle wood integration without overpowering the varietal character, followed by two months of rest in bottle before release.

The finished wine displays a bright, deep ruby color with total acidity of 5 grams per liter and pH of 3.55, ensuring age-worthiness and food compatibility.
