Wine Description

One of the pioneers of the modern Greek wine revolution, Gai’a Estate (pronounced Yay-ya) was established in 1994 by Leon Karatsalos and winemaker Yiannis Paraskevopoulos. Their mission was to capture the best that Greece’s indigenous grapes have to offer by merging traditional viticultural and production methods with innovative techniques. The estate is named after “Mother Earth,” in honor of the unique terroir that gives birth to these world-class wines.

Acclaim
“A bright, easy-drinking dry red wine with infinite food-pairing potential, this juicy red wine made from Greece’s indigenous Agiorgitiko grape is a good bottle to suggest to the Cru Beaujolais lover looking for something new. There are tart raspberries, blackberries and sour cherries bursting onto the palate, and the long finish is tart with a lovely tannic texture. Serve with a slight chill and pair with everything from burgers to cheese boards and beyond.” – (Best Buy) — Wine Enthusiast, Jun 2024
