Skouras - 'St. George' - Nemea, Greece

Producer Profile
George Skouras was one of the OG winemakers changing the perception of Greek wine. He studied in Dijon, France in the early 1980’s before moving home and starting Domaine Skouras in his hometown of Argos in Nemea. He’s been on the forefront of Greek winemaking ever since and was the pioneer of revitalizing the Agiorgitiko grape, presented here in a classic expression.

Tasting Notes
All sorts of rich, dark berries jump out of the glass: blackberry, mulberry and black plum. A light touch of oak aging shows itself with some clove and cinnamon notes before the lovely fine tannins and little poke of acidity jump in. Finished off nicely with rich cherry and vanilla.

Pairing Suggestions
Grab a Greek lamb meatball recipe, throw some pitas on the grill, whip up some tzatziki, pop this bottle of wine, and have yourself a wonderful time.
