Nemeion Estate

It was the year 2004 that George Vassiliou created his first «Hgemon/Sovereign» Nemea Grand Reserve and «Nemeion Estate» Nemea Reserve fine wines at the only, of that time, isobaric winery in the country. The vineyards, composed by 80.000 vines, are sited at 400 to 600 m above sea level. The microclimate, the soil and the waters in Nemea, create the ideal environment for the cultivation of Agiorgitiko, one of the best and most ancient varieties in the world, in the respective PDO zone. The vineyards are organicaly cultivated, certified by “ΔΗΩ”. 20% of the Seguin Moreau & Berthomieu barriques are renewed every year which leads to a total renewal of the cave within five years. Nemeion Estates only produces wines that mature in barriques and age in the bottle for many years without any compromise in quality.
