"Our Estate is what we planted to show respect to the history of our land. What we cultivate to express our philosophy. What we vinify with all our love and patience to match. What shows our vision of Nemea. An Agiorgitiko, coming from our top vineyards, ripened to perfection, matured in oak barrels for 16 months and then bottled. Because in Bairaktaris Estate we are not making ordinary wines. We state our own approach. And this Nemea is our statement."

Tasting notes: Deep ruby red color clearly indicates its resistance to long-term aging. Fragrances from ripe fruits, vanilla, spices and bitter chocolate. A high complexity wine, that blends the fragrances of the fruits and the oak in a perfect balance. It is a puzzle even for the richest palates, round body, gentle and soft tannins.
Pair it with: Red meat, creamy sauce with spices and risotto with truffle oil. It fits perfectly with hard and aged cheeses.
