The most-planted Greek red, centred on Nemea in the Peloponnese. Plush and approachable at low altitudes; gains structure and finesse on the limestone slopes above 500 metres. Versatile across rosé, dry red, and sweet styles.

Drinks well in the first 3-5 years; high-altitude single-vineyard bottlings reward 8-15 years.
