Agiorgitiko (pronounced Ah-yor-YEE-te-ko) is a fragrant red grape variety native to Greece's Peloponnese Peninsula. The grapes are cultivated in a seven hectare single estate vineyard in Koutsi, Nemea. The vineyard is situated at an altitude of 550 metres above sea level. The 40 year old vines are trained according to the Spur Cordon method and the yields are kept low at 45 to 48 hectolitres per hectare. The soils have a layer of approximately 75cm of clay over a bed of limestone. The grapes are manually harvested.
One of the pioneers of the modern Greek wine revolution Gaia Estate was established in 1994 by Greek winemakers Leon Karatsalos and Yiannis Paraskevopoulos. Operating two different wineries they make cutting edge wines in both Nemea and Santorini. Gaia's main aim is to present the potential of the indigenous Greek grape varieties to wine enthusiasts worldwide.
