Characteristics
Condensation and refinement. Le sang de la Pierre is here and proves that it is indisputably one of the top Greek wines. A wine created by Christos Aivali's son, Sotiris, from an over-ripe, very low yielding Agiorgitiko vintage applying Burgundy winemaking practices. The small vineyard of 14 acres in Traganes on the undiscovered side of Nemea vindicates Christos Aivalis for his insistence on the origin of the fruit and the expression of the terroir. The soil is stony, the plants have been hardened, both by the poor soil and the total lack of any fertilization. Solid red, purple colour. Aromas of red forest fruits, caramel, nuts, pepper, chocolate and hints of coffee. Full, exuberant mouthfeel with tannins in harmony and balance with the acidity that do not make the increased alcohol noticeable. Long finish that with the other elements suggest several years of life. Aged in French oak Soolit barrels from 14 to 16 months. Not filtered, not stabilized.
