Tetramythos Agiorgitiko Nature is a beautifully pure expression of Agiorgitiko that has earned a devoted following both in Greece and abroad. Widely regarded as one of the most authentic and captivating interpretations of the variety, it stands out despite not coming from Nemea, but from the vineyards of Aigialeia. Its reputation has reached far beyond Greek borders, with Decanter describing it as a benchmark example of unoaked Agiorgitiko.
The story begins at Tetramythos Winery, nestled in the mountainous terroir of Aigialeia in the northern Peloponnese. Here, Panagiotis Papagiannopoulos and his team embrace a philosophy of minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar. Working with organically farmed vines, their goal remains simple yet ambitious: to allow the grape variety and its place of origin to speak clearly through every glass, free from anything unnecessary or artificial.
The winemaking behind Tetramythos Agiorgitiko Nature is as minimalist as it gets. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, while the wine matures for approximately five months in stainless steel tanks on its lees. No oak is used at any stage. Bottled unfiltered and with only minimal sulphur additions, the wine retains remarkable freshness, energy and purity of fruit.
Whether you are already a natural wine enthusiast or simply curious about the style, this is an Agiorgitiko that is hard not to fall in love with.
