DESCRIPTION
It is the first of its kind. It’s so good that it will definitely pave the way for the next. At least it will force several producers to experiment. New winemakers, groundbreaking experimental methods, a wine that will leave history. The 2016 Fysis of the Domaine Athanasiou from Nemea is the “absolute” expression of a variety and terroir. It is the first natural wine produced by Agiorgitiko without any interference (absolutely).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Grape
Agiorgitiko
Agiorgitiko is the quiet power grape of the Greek vineyard and of yet unexplored potential. It is not only the PDO grape of Nemea, the largest region with such status but has the fame that spreads throughout Greece and so does its cultivation. It is also the most marketed grape domestically, to the extent that one can find agents selling wines of Nemea anywhere in Greece, even in the heart of other dedicated wine-producing regions. It performs well in hot climates and gives a variety of styles.
Thick-skinned of variable size, depending on the clone and with around 8 clones available commercially today. It is potentially high yielding, late budding and late ripening.
Producer
Athanasiou
Michael Athanasiou runs his certified organic family winery and makes wines from grapes grown in the family’s estate around Ancient Nemea. He works exclusively with the indigenous grape varieties of the region and has been experimenting on the production of completely natural wine by Agiorgitiko in the last 9 years. 2016 Fysis is his first natural wine release and the first Agiorgitiko wine hitting the market containing 0% sulphites.
