Why do we love it?
Route 111 Troupis Winery is an elegant red wine from the great red varieties of the Peloponnese. The route of the National Road that connects Nemea with Aigialia, gave its name to the new red wine of Troupis Winery but also the inspiration to combine Nemea’s Agiorgitiko with Aigialia’ s Mavrodaphne. The result is simply amazing!
Troupis Winery amazed us with its wonderful Moschofilero but apparently, they do an incredible job in their red wines as well. Route 111 is the ultimate proof of it. Agiorgitiko and Mavrodaphne are cultivated at an altitude of 640 meters, which contributes to the crisp acidity and the freshness of the wine. The two Greek varieties complement each other and compose a wine with intense botanical and floral character but also rich red and black fruit. The touch of the barrel (6 months in used oak barrels), is as much as needed to enhance the complexity of the already impressive blend. It is bottled unfiltered and without any other intervention. (It is worth telling you that a few months after its release it has already managed to enter the list of the best Greek wines!)
