Origin

The Nemea Red by Lafazanis is produced in the Nemea region of Greece, a renowned appellation in the Peloponnese known for its rich viticultural heritage and ideal terroir for red wine production.

Variety

This wine is made primarily from the Agiorgitiko grape variety, indigenous to the Nemea region, celebrated for its deep color, balanced acidity, and complex flavor profile.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation to preserve the varietal character. The wine is aged in oak barrels to enhance complexity and structure before bottling.

Tasting notes

  • Color: Deep ruby red with garnet hues
  • Aroma: Intense bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, complemented by subtle spicy and vanilla notes from oak aging
  • Palate: Medium to full-bodied with smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish featuring hints of dark berries and spices

Food pairings

  • Grilled red meats and lamb dishes
  • Hearty stews and casseroles
  • Aged cheeses such as kefalotyri or gouda
  • Traditional Greek dishes like moussaka and pastitsio
