Meraklis 2020 Agiorgitiko, Greece

Description

THIS JUST IN: Our first-ever Greek red wowed the judges at the 2022 Dan Berger’s International Wine Competition bringing home “Best of Class” honors and a Triple Gold Medal!

Meraklis, a word used to refer to one who lives in the moment, welcomes you to the sunny shores of Greece. Our Agiorgitiko (ah-yor-YEE-tee-ko) shares an exciting taste of this country’s most widely planted red grape variety with a mix of red and dark fruit flavors joined by a balanced structure and exotic character. This native Greek varietal is comparable to a lighter-styled Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Greece’s Mediterranean climate offers high temperatures throughout the growing season while the ocean plays a welcome role, moderating temperatures through coastal winds and storms. This hardy red grape is thought to be the preferred wine of Hercules and remains a staple among the locals due to its stylistic versatility and reliable yields in the vineyard. We encourage you to enjoy this wine as a local, served alongside cultural delicacies like youvetsi or baked moussaka. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.
