Mountain Fish Agiorgitiko 2014
Nemea, Peloponnese, GreeceStrofilia Estate was started by two friends in 1984. This is the latest project in their portfolio, ‘Syn+’, the result of the next generation experimenting with their family’s accomplished practices. This agiorgitiko is from mountainous vineyards in Asprokambos and Psari, in Nemea. Deep clay soils, whole cluster and two weeks on the skins, this spent six months in tank before bottling. Downy plum, blackcurrant, cassis, wild cherry on the soft, generous and friendly palate, one with fine powdery, fuzzy tannins hugging the edges to a warming finish. A fine, potent line of acidity plumbs the whole. Rustic and charming, crack and chill and serve with pork. Good value - more like this in BC please.Tasted: 24 May 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $19.00 | 750ml | BCLS |
