Wine maker’s notes
At the beginning of 2007, in Koutsi, Nemea, GAIA introduced GAIA S, a new creation that combines the much-loved indigenous Agiorgitiko grape with the French Syrah. You can interpret S however you prefer, S for Syrah but also S for Super Nemea.
The grapes come from GAIA’s private vineyard in upper Koutsi, in Nemea. GAIA S ages for 12 months in 225 litre French oak barrels,which originate from the Nevers & Allier forests in central France. When bottled, without undergoing any filtering or additional procedures, it matures for at least five months before being released to the market.
The result is a particularly deep red, black wine with intense aromas, cleanliness and complexity, created by perfect and respectful amalgamation of Agiorgitiko and Syrah. Its structure is rich and generous. We strongly believe that kept under good cellar conditions, this wine will improve for years to come.
Remember to take time to decant Gaia, at least half an hour before you enjoy it. Its new dimension that will emerge, will excite!
Pair it with white or red meat, chicken, seafood, pasta, dessert, fruits, sweet bites and chocolate.
Tip: The shipping cost per bottle drops significantly the more bottles you buy. Join forces with friends and family to buy more bottles and bring the cost down.

About Gaia Winery (Nemea)
The winery was built in 1997 at the heart of the private vineyard in Koutsi, Nemea at an altitude of 550m. The choice of the location of our winey depended on the location of our vineyard. So, we chose Koutsi which has a lower yield than the other parts of Nemea in combination with chalky, good drainage soils and cool temperatures. We strongly believe that Agiorgitiko grapes cultivated in Koutsi have higher quality than the rest zone of Nemea and are ideal for producing high-extract and oak-aged wines.
Our winery in Koutsi is a contemporary industrial building with magnificent views of the plains of Nemea and the valley of Asopos River, around 250m below.
Its capacity is 3,060 hl of wine and the equipment and quality controls provide the oenologist the possibility to produce high-quality wines. Yiannis Paraskevopoulos and his team manage every step of the winemaking process with the sole intention of producing only top-quality wines. The winery strictly functions in accordance with international standards of the ISO 22.000 quality guarantee.
