Nestor Avarino red 2024
From Nestor Avarino in Greece, this dry red wine blends Agiorgitiko, Grenache and Cabernet from the 2024 vintage. A quick word on the grape: Agiorgitiko is one of Greece's most important red grapes, centered on Nemea, producing soft, velvety wines with ripe red-fruit, plum and a hint of spice. It's joined by Grenache — a warm-climate red grape giving generous, fruit-forward wines with ripe red-berry flavors, soft tannins and a hint of spice. Greece has been making wine for thousands of years, and its sun-drenched hills and breezy islands grow native grapes you simply won't find anywhere else. Pour it with weeknight pasta, roast chicken or a cheese plate and you're golden. Best enjoyed at cool room temperature.
