Nemea | Local Wine Appellation From Peloponnese, Greece | TasteAtlas

Nemea

(Νεμέα)

Located in the northeastern part of the Peloponnese, Nemea is a Greek appellation that produces varietal red wines from the native Agiorgitiko grapes. Although the wines may vary in style, from easy-drinking to rich and full-bodied, they typically display flavors and aromas reminiscent of red and black berries, plums, and prunes, while oak-aging tends to highlight spicy nuances of nutmeg and black pepper.


Because of their versatile character, Nemea wines can match a wide array of dishes. Aged varieties pair well with sausages and grilled or roasted meat, including pork, lamb or poultry, while lighter styles may match stews and cheese.
