A popular wine when introduced at one of our Club Member panel tastings, Nikolaou's organic Agiorgitiko is medium-bodied with a smooth texture, vibrant acidity, and a whisper of spice. It’s approachable yet elegant, making it equally suited for everyday sipping or pairing with grilled lamb, tomato-based dishes, or aged cheeses. Nikolaou Estate is located in the Nemea wine region of the Peloponnese in southern Greece. Nemea is renowned for producing some of the country's finest red wines, particularly from the Agiorgitiko grape variety. The estate's vineyards are situated in the Ntouramani area of Nemea, benefiting from a unique microclimate influenced by mountain air and the nearby Asopos River. These conditions, combined with the region's limestone-rich soils, contribute to the cultivation of high-quality organic grapes.
