Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

• The Profile: A bright, fragrant nose bursting with fresh red cherries, wild strawberries, and a subtle touch of sweet spice opens up to a juicy, medium-bodied palate balanced by soft, rounded tannins and a clean, refreshing finish.
• Classic Pairings: Pairs wonderfully with grilled lamb skewers, Mediterranean roasted vegetables with feta, and rich tomato-based pasta dishes.
• Irish Favourite Pairings: An exceptional match for a premium home-cooked shepherd's pie or a gourmet ham and cheese toastie, where the wine's bright fruit profile cuts right through the savory, rich fats of the dish. It also pairs spectacularly well with a Friday night takeaway Spice Bag—the juicy red berry sweetness and balanced acidity handle the salt and mild chili heat beautifully, naturally softening the spice while refreshing the palate.

How the wine is made

Crafted from 100% indigenous Agiorgitiko grapes, this wine benefits from the premium altitude and cooling maritime breezes that sweep across the hillsides of the Peloponnese. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested and sorted to select only pristine fruit before undergoing a gentle, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats. This deliberate choice to avoid oak maturation ensures the wine retains its lively primary fruit character, vibrant natural acidity, and soft, highly accessible structure.
