MOUNTAIN FISH | 100% Agiorgitiko grapes, 13% alc. | Awarded

A little history:

Agiorgitiko is a red Greek wine grape variety that, as of 2012, was the most widely planted red grape variety in Greece. The name Agiorgitiko means literally “St. George’s grape” which could be a reference to the chapel of Saint George in Nemea or to Saint George’s Day which is celebrated in November around harvest time in Eastern Orthodox Churches.

And a little technical:

The grape pulp remains in the tanks at a temperature of 12° C for a few days and then injected. Vinification temperature 23° C. Separation when enough phenolic ingredients have been extracted to create a wine with a vivid colour and a strong aromatic character
