Agiorgitiko
A magical expression of Nemea
[product_subtitle]
The Gofas family tradition is lost in time with generations of wine producers being involved in wine making in the family owned vineyards in Nemea. Vasilio 2018 is a majestic wine that is one of the finest protagonists today within the Nemea terroir. Grapes come from a single vineyard in Koutsi, the centre of this mythical region which has been producing wine for 3000 years. The 50 years old vineyard was planted by the godfather of Costantine Gofas, at an altitude of 480m and at a very difficult slope. Without any irrigation the vineyard produces very limited yields of precious concentrated fruit which remains for 30 months in French oak barrels and then is bottled in 900 rare bottles, where it stays for another year. With an aging potential of 10 years this superb wine will become even better if you decide to keep it for a few more years in your cellar. But can you resist the temptation?

Agiorgitiko
[product_subtitle]
To make premium wines is obviously both a special art and a very demanding science and there are always a few amazing people who will put every possible effort into this goal. For Apocalypsis 2015 Christos Barafakas, went a long way with experimentation. It took him 10 years to rediscover Agiorgitiko and finally he came up with something super unique, since the result justifies the name of this great wine. In order to bring out the best of Agiorgitiko he decided he had to select only the best vineyards in Nemea and this is exactly what he did. With very special care during the process of vinification the precious fruit remains in French oak barrels for 12 months and gains finesses and complexity. Apocalypsis 2014 is an extraordinary Nemea with perfect balance between fruit and spice, a very fulfilling original expression of what it is supposed to be.
The colour is medium purple, the body has medium-volume with an attractive oily texture and mild very satisfying tannins.
