Halkia Wines Agiorgitiko Red ØKO

Halkia Red is a fresh and natural vinification of the most planted blue Greek grape, Agiorgitiko, from its birthplace of Nemea.

The wine must undergoes approx. 7-day maceration with natural fermentation in steel tanks at various temperatures.

The wines was made with no additions. It was not filtered and no sulphites were added.

A slightly prickly red wine with notes of red cherries, umami, balsamic vinegar and salt.
It is characterized by fine tannins and a long aftertaste but very easy drinkable.          

A perfect wine for the pizza or pasta or dishes with tomatoes, salt and dried herbs. And for the Christmas holidays in 2019, we found out, it pairs well with flæskesteg and rødkål. 

The wine is a very free and modern expression of Agiorgitiko, which otherwise can be masked by notes derived from an unnecessary use of oak barrels.
