The 2019 Nasiakos Nemea Red is a refined and elegant expression of Agiorgitiko, crafted from the vineyards at Koutsi Mountain Peaks in Nemea, Corinth. At an elevation of over 2,700 feet, the iron-rich red volcanic soils and prolonged growing season impart a unique freshness and complexity to this wine. Aged for 12 months in French oak, it showcases the care and expertise of second-generation winemaker Leonidas Nasiakos, who is both viticulturist and producer.

Sensory Description
This Agiorgitiko captures the grape's signature appeal with concentrated, fresh red berry flavors that exude a soft, plush texture.

Balanced by vibrant acidity, this wine offers depth without palate fatigue, making it both expressive and approachable.
Producer’s Background
Leonidas Nasiakos is a second-generation winemaker and fourth-generation viticulturist, renowned for his dedication to Greece's indigenous varietals. His small family-owned winery, nestled at the highest point of Nemea, produces only 6,500 cases annually, focusing on quality and precision. The Koutsi Mountain Peaks vineyard’s altitude and unique terroir are integral to the wine's exceptional character, a hallmark of Nasiakos’ winemaking philosophy.
Vintage Notes
Harvested between mid-September and early October, the 2019 vintage benefited from prolonged growing conditions due to high elevation. These factors allowed sugar levels to develop harmoniously, preserving the wine’s natural freshness and vibrancy. The season’s moderate temperatures produced concentrated fruit with excellent structure, setting this vintage apart for its finesse and aging potential.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the 2019 Nasiakos Nemea Red at 60–65°F to enhance its vibrant aromas and plush texture. Its balanced acidity and layered flavors make it an ideal pairing for grilled lamb, roasted beef, veal, or game meats such as venison. Vegetarian options like mushroom risotto or roasted eggplant also complement its nuanced profile beautifully. With its refined structure, this wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for further evolution.
