1. Palivou Estate – Nemea Red Wine
Palivou Estate owns one of the two largest vineyards in the ancient Greek wine production zone of NEMEA
The area of Ancient Nemea, where viniculture continues non-stop for 3,500 years, is where more than 74 acres of vineyards are planted mostly with the Greek variety of AGIORGITIKO.
In 1995, Palivou’s old traditional treading tank was replaced by a contemporary winery; the Estate began its new, extremely dynamic era.
In a place, which has been characterized as the Name of Origin for what is probably the most important Greek red variety AGIORGITIKO, Palivou Estate now owns one of the two largest vineyards in the zone of NEMEA.
Other varieties include Rodites, Malagousia, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, all lavishly offering grapes that produce award-winning wines of unique personality and character.

Palivou Estate’s Nemea Red Wine
☀️🍷
PALIVOU ESTATE NEMEA is more than a tasty red wine.
Protected Designation of Origine (PDO) Nemea
This single variety 100% Agiorgitiko wine is the flagship of Palivou VIneyards.
The vinification process consists of 5 days of cold maceration and then traditional red vinification using after-fermentation’s infusion methods, and strict control of temperature.
Aging for 12 months in French barrels 30% news, 30% second, and 30% third use, followed by 6 months aging in the bottle.
Wine tasting notes distinguish this thick, dark-colored wine with aggressive tannins, from all Agiorgitiko wines out there.
Its impressive aromas of dark black cherries, vanilla with chocolate notes, and toasted wood add to a full body with good structure, rich in tannins that give a long aftertaste.
Ideal for:
Juicy red meats accompanied by rich aromatic sauces
Recommended Cheeses: Greek Graviera, Cheddar
Makes a great match with Greek Black and Green Olives
Best served at a temperature of 60 ° F – 64 ° F
