Neméa, at least in Southern Greece, is considered the crown jewel of the new wine industry. Greece is justifiably proud of the achievements that have been made there, not least of which was exploiting the potential of the Agiorgítko grape, a potential not limited only to Nemea, nor even to Greece exclusively. There is tremendous agreement that no matter what its potential may be elsewhere, the Agiorgitiko is perfectly adapted to Nemea, especially to the middle of three zones of different elevations, the so-called 'semi-mountainous' zone, at elevations of between 450 and 650 meters, where the overlap of ideal conditions result in good fruit, acidity, body and color that meet the current high expectations for serious wine in world markets.The Neméa appellation calls for 100% Agiorgitiko.

The Neméa region has a gentle beauty to which the abundance of vineyards only contributes, especially along the valley and slopes of Ancient Neméa. An important archaeological site there adds drama-and a historical context-to the already dramatic contrast between the red soil, green vine leaves and straw yellow blankets of wheat that cover resting vineyards.
