Nemea Grande Cuvée 2023 from Domaine Skouras is exactly what its name suggests—a grand Nemea and a stunning Agiorgitiko. George and Dimitris Skouras have truly outdone themselves, crafting a fantastic Nemea bursting with juicy red fruits, floral notes, and spices. With ageing, it has the potential to evolve into a true powerhouse.
Founded in 1986 by George Skouras, Domaine Skouras is located just outside Nemea and is one of Greece’s most beautiful and welcoming wineries. Housed in an impressive building with a striking tasting hall and an underground cellar filled with oak barrels, the estate produces expressive wines that highlight Agiorgitiko, as well as international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Viognier. Their wines are known for their complexity, energy, and character, reflecting both the grape and the terroir.
Nemea Grande Cuvée 2023 Doamine Skouras is a prime example, made from 31-year-old vines grown at an altitude of 1,040 metres. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing in new French oak barrels for 12 months. This process gives the wine incredible complexity and structure, while preserving the elegance of the variety. It then rests in the bottle for 6 months before release, resulting in a rich yet balanced wine with cherry-like acidity and polished tannins.
