Bizios Estate Nemea PDO Organic Agiorgitiko
Produced from 30+ year-old vines and aged in American and French oak, 15% new. Deep ruby red colour with aromas of smoke, some cinnamon from American oak, and contrasting vanilla toast from the French Oak! Grown in a bowl called Asprokampos at 900 metres above sea level, the wonderful resulting freshness from the acidity, keeps this robust red beautifully balanced. Lovely bramble fruit. Strong but properly smooth, lush fruit. Reminiscent of top Rioja but with richer fruit perhaps. Perfect for steak!

Bizios Estate, Nemea, Peloponnese
Elias Bizios is the son of a viticulturist born and raised in Asprokampos, Nemea, a mountainous village at an altitude of 900 meters. The winery, which is surrounded by lush green vineyards in the valley shaped between the mountains of Ziria and Gavria, is 14 miles north-west from Nemea and to the east of the legendary Stymphalia lake (where the oenophile Hercules accomplished his first two feats).
The privately owned vineyards of 10ha extend to an altitude of 850m in the village of Asprokampos, at the highest point of PDO Nemea. The vineyards have been certified organic for almost 30 years, are dry-farmed, and have very low yields, producing great concentration and quality in the wines. The varieties cultivated on the estate include Agiorgitiko, Moscofilero, and Malagousia.
