Why do we love it?
Nemea Monolithos by Bairaktaris Winery is a true diamond! The flagship wine of the winery will amaze you from the very first sip since we are talking about an epic red wine.
Bairaktaris Winery is located in Nemea, around the vineyards of Agiorgitiko. Bairaktaris family has been involved with wine for many years and the vineyards are a family heritage that is passed down from generation to generation. In 2005 a lot changed for the winery and Christos Bairaktaris brought a different air and a more modern look to the winery. Monolithos Nemea is a rich red wine from 100% Agiorgitiko that comes from 50 years old vineyards. Agiorgitiko is cultivated at an altitude of 800 meters and this contributes to the creation of a juicy red wine, with plenty of fruit and crisp acidity. The precious juice ages for 16 months in new oak French barrels to emphasize the spicy character of the variety.
Nemea Monolithos of Bairaktaris Winery is the Agiorgitiko that you will love!
