Origin

Produced in Greece, Palies Rizes Old Vines Agio is crafted in the region of Macedonia, known for its rich viticultural heritage and ideal terroir for red grape varieties.

Variety

This wine is made from old vine Agiorgitiko grapes, a native Greek variety prized for its deep color and complex flavor profile.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested from old vines, ensuring concentrated flavors. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in oak barrels to develop structure and complexity.

  • Aroma: Intense bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, complemented by subtle spicy and oak notes.
  • Palate: Full-bodied with smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish featuring hints of vanilla and dried herbs.

Food pairings

  • Grilled red meats such as lamb or beef
  • Hearty stews and casseroles
  • Mature cheeses like aged Gouda or Manchego
  • Rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces
