Why do we love it?
Nemea Monopati Aivalis Winery is one of the first premium Greek wines of the variety Agiorgitiko and specifically the first premium wine of the great Christos Aivalis. For some Monopati is his top wine and for many, perhaps the best wine of Nemea!
The vineyard Monopati, in Nemea, includes vines that are more than 50 years old. This but also its stony soil, gives every year, its perfect, ripe and dense fruit. With careful vinification, according to French standards, and aging for 16 months in French oak barrels, this Agiorgitiko has the structure and concentration of a Cabernet Sauvignon from Bordeaux. The magician Christos Aivalis handles Agiorgitiko masterfully, so yes, we did not expect anything less from his hands.
If we were you, we would get, at least, six bottles of Nemea Monopati 2022 Aivalis Winery! It's hard to come across wine at this level!
