Tasting notes
This is an understated and fresh Agiorgitiko, not one of those soft and fruity things, this relies more on structure. It shows its wood a bit on opening, then it becomes tight and pointed. In its elegance and freshness, it shows very well. It's a bit lean and linear, but its dried raspberry overlay blends well into the whole and gives it just enough personality. Overall, this works well for a food wine that is refreshing as well as focused. It's also beautifully structured, as suggested earlier. This isn't a wine that shows off easy or sweet fruit, but it has a lot to offer in its Burgundian style.

Giannikos Winery's Lion Agiorgitiko is a rich and full-bodied red wine that is perfect for those who enjoy a bold and complex taste profile. This wine is made from the Agiorgitiko grape, which is grown in the Nemea region of Greece and is known for its deep red color and intense flavor.
