Halkia Reddish 2022 Corinthia Agiorgitiko

Anna Halkia is a small organic female grower and winemaker in Corinth, Nemea, the largest winemaking region of Greece and home to the Agiorgitiko grape (which is the most planted red Greek grape). Anna grew up in Australia with her immigrant parents, and moved back to Nemea as an adult. In the early 2000s, she decided to create a basic winemaking facility in the back of her house, where the family’s vineyards are located. Necessity turned her to wild fermentation and lo-fi winemaking. Anna also applied and received her organic certification. This is the light version of her regular Agiorgitiko with only a couple hours skin contact. Like a pale, ruby rose, it shows notes of berries and  garrigue with bright, peppery acidity. Eminently chillable, it's the perfect foil to all your picnic, barbecue and grilling needs. Guaranteed not to put you to sleep on Thanksgiving! -Giselle Hamburg
