Cultura Nemea 2022
Andromachi’s Tasting Notes
This 100% Agiorgitiko, nurtured in the elevated hills of the appellation, boasts a bright and deep ruby hue with captivating violet edges. The nose is a complex tapestry of ripe sour cherries and blueberries, interwoven with warm spices derived from its careful oak aging. On the palate, experience a smooth, velvety texture with silky tannins and a notable richness. The mouth is flooded with vibrant red fruit flavors, elegantly accented by a touch of vanilla and a refreshing, balanced acidity. Evident barrel aging contributes intriguing layers of oak, subtle smokiness, and hints of luscious vanilla and even dark chocolate. Uncork Cultura and taste the legacy of "the blood of Hercules" in every nuanced sip.
