Old Vines – Papaioannou Estate | Deep, organic and classic Nemea
The Old Vines from Papaioannou Estate is a characterful, concentrated red wine from old Agiorgitiko vines in the heart of Nemea. Thanks to low yields and organic growing, it offers more depth, structure and complexity than the classic entry-level Nemeas. An authentic terroir wine with elegance and power.
Grapes & origin
100% Agiorgitiko from old vines in certified organic vineyards in PDO Nemea in the Peloponnese. The low yield of old vines gives concentrated aromas and a richer structure.
Vinification
Traditional vinification with longer skin maceration for extra extraction. The wine then ages for 12 to 18 months in oak barrels, followed by further bottle ageing. Minimal intervention preserves the character of grape and terroir.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby red. On the nose rich aromas of black cherry, plum, bay leaf, herbs, leather and subtle oak notes. On the palate full and structured, with ripe tannins, lively acidity and a long, spicy finish. Elegant but powerful.
Serving tips
Serve at 17–18 °C. Decanting recommended. Delicious with lamb, stews, game, grilled red meat or matured hard cheeses. A gastronomic wine with a classic Nemea character.
Cellaring
Very good — 8 to 12 years. Develops more complexity, softness and depth with bottle age.
Taste & character
Full, balanced and made to be enjoyed.
Use & serving tip
Delicious with salads, mezze, grilled vegetables and fresh bread.
