Agiorgitiko Rosé Papaioannou Wines
€9,30
Agiorgitiko Rosé by Papaioannou Estate is a dry rosé wine made from 100% Agiorgitiko, expressing the fresher, fruit-driven, and pleasantly youthful side of Nemea’s iconic variety. On the producer’s official website, it is listed as a local Corinthian dry rosé wine, sourced from estate-owned vineyards in Nemea, with production of around 25,000 bottles, while the current label listing on the estate’s site shows the 2025 vintage.
In the glass, it is expected to show a bright rosé color and a lively, appealing appearance, hinting at its fresh and aromatic profile. On the nose, aromas of red fruit such as strawberry, cherry, and sour cherry stand out, while foreign-language presentations of the same wine also mention pomegranate and red fruit jam, adding even more aromatic richness to its profile.
On the palate, it is dry, fresh, and balanced, with pleasant acidity and a clean fruit expression. The estate’s official English page describes it as having a balanced and refreshing taste, while the German and French versions also mention a perceptible sweet impression at the start, without changing its main classification as a dry rosé. In practice, this suggests a wine with ripe, generous fruit on the palate, refreshing acidity, and good length in the finish.
It is made with skin contact or separation for around 24 to 48 hours, followed by white vinification, which helps explain its fresh character, fruit clarity, and pleasant balance. It pairs beautifully with white meats and white sauces, as noted by the producer, and can also work very well with pasta, light dishes, and summer meals. It is ideally served at 11°C.
