Semeli Nemea Reserve

Nemea Reserve – Semeli Winery | Powerful, elegant and classic Agiorgitiko

The Nemea Reserve from Semeli Winery is an impressive, mature red wine of 100% Agiorgitiko from the high-altitude vineyards of Nemea. Thanks to ageing in both oak and bottle, this wine is perfectly balanced — full, spicy and velvety. A beautiful expression of what Nemea has to offer as a wine region.

Grapes & origin
100% Agiorgitiko from carefully selected vineyards at around 600 metres in the Koutsi (PDO Nemea) region. This setting gives ripe grapes with lively acidity and aromatic intensity — the perfect basis for a wine with cellaring potential.

Vinification
After classic fermentation the wine ages for around 12 months in French oak barrels, followed by bottle ageing before release. This gives the wine softness, structure and complexity without losing its fruity core.

Tasting notes
Deep ruby red. On the nose aromas of ripe cherry, black plum, cinnamon, vanilla, cedar and a hint of clove. On the palate full and layered, with rounded tannins, fresh acidity and a long, spicy, elegant finish.

Serving tips
Serve at 17 °C. Decanting recommended for young vintages. Excellent with lamb stew, red meat, game, stuffed vegetables or matured cheeses. A wine for the serious wine lover and for festive dinners alike.

Cellaring
Very good: 8 to 10 years. Evolves nicely with bottle age.
