Nemea Papaioannou Wines
€13,10
Nemea by Papaioannou Estate is a dry red PDO Nemea wine made from 100% Agiorgitiko, expressing the classic character of this historic appellation in a more mature and structured way. On the estate’s official English page, it appears as the 2021 vintage, aged for one year in oak barrel and then for a further six months in bottle, pointing to a wine with greater depth and a more complex personality.
In the glass, it is expected to show a deep red color and a more serious appearance, while the nose reveals complex aromas of red fruits along with notes of butter and caramel, exactly as described by the producer. On the palate, it is balanced, rich in tannins, and fuller in character, showing a more structured and evolved expression of Agiorgitiko compared with simpler, fresher bottlings. The estate also notes an ageing potential of up to ten years, reinforcing the label’s more serious and age-worthy profile.
It pairs beautifully with rich red meats and fuller dishes, as the producer also suggests, and it is a very good choice for those looking for a more classic and mature expression of Nemea from Papaioannou Estate.
