At the top of the steep Southwestern slopes of Koutsi, we cultivate our Agiorgitiko vines with an eye towards the creation of red wine of an exceptional personality and a great aging potential, aiming to take all the compounds needed in a really small number of grapes.
The winemaking is done in such a way that the already dense grape can be expressed in wine in the most absolute and complete way. The very long extraction after fermentation is the key point of the first phase of the vinification. Afterward, the new wine will mature for at least 12 months in new 225-liter French oak casks. The origin of the forest and the degree of burning, the way of cutting the used wood and every small detail, has been examined and chosen so we eventually get a wine with a highly complex personality.
Ultimately, GAIA ESTATE is bottled directly from the barrel without prior treatments such as chilling or filtration. In this way, we preserve the best of all the essential elements of our wine.
GAIA ESTATE has a deep red-black color, complex and high intense aromatic profile with elements of fruit, wood, vanilla, and carnation. Mouth-filling, volume, body, structure, and flavor complement the character of this unusual Nemea.
Without a doubt, this is an aging wine. Under proper cellar conditions and temperature 12ο-14ο C it continues to evolve into an even better and more structured wine for the next 20 years.
Remember to spend GAIA ESTATE in a decanting, at least half an hour before you enjoy it. Its new dimension that will emerge will excite you!
It is ideally paired with grilled red meat, red meat cooked in red sauce or with mushrooms, paultry cooked in red sauce, aged cheeses.
