In the vineyards:
At the lowest point of the vineyards of Ancient Nemea we grow Agiorgitiko with a distinctive way in order to achieve the fewer colours possible and the greatest primary aromatic compounds in the skins. Harvesting takes place early in the morning and the grapes stay into a cooling room at 5o C for 12 hours.

Vinification:
Traditional red vinification using pre-fermentation’s infusion method for two days, afterwards white vinification method and strict control of temperature.

Comments from the winemaker:
Agiorgitiko confirms its versatile nature producing apart from full bodied red wines also excellent rose. Aromas of strawberries, cherries and goose berries, combined with citrus aromas. Acidity that refreshes and tones up the palate, fruity aftertaste with discreet tannins. A delicate wine able to accompany any dish.

Food Suggestions:
Meat with aromatic sauces, pasta, cooked vegetables and cheeses Best served at a temperature of 8-12oC

Since 1995, when the old traditional treading tank was replaced by a contemporary winery, following the demands of modern times, Palivou Estate began its new, extremely dynamic era.

In a place, which has been characterized as Name of Origin for what is probably the most important Greek red variety AGIORGITIKO, Palivou Estate owns one of the two largest vineyards in the zone of NEMEA.More than 300 stremmas (area equal to 1000km) planted mostly with AGIORGITIKO, but also with Rodites, Malagousia, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah can lavishly offer wines of quality names.
