The naturally sweet Espera wine comes exclusively from the Agiorgitiko variety, which is cultivated in selected vineyards with a low per acre yield on the slopes of the mountainous Nemea. The harsh winter and the cool summer nights create the ideal conditions for the ripening of Agiorgitikos. Espera offers a unique tasting experience to every wine lover.
The grapes are carefully picked and placed in nets to dry for the next 10 days before being transported to the winery. There, decantation takes place and fermentation follows at an ideal temperature for about two weeks. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 24 months and then bottled raw.
With a deep purple color and a complex aromatic bouquet that includes notes of dried fruit, walnuts, hazelnuts, plums and forest fruit jam, ESPERA offers a rich and velvety mouthfeel with a long and refined aftertaste.
Enjoyed at 12-14˚ C. Further aging in the cellar is recommended.
Enjoy this rich and sweet wine with a special meal or as dessert to complete a perfect evening. It goes great with a variety of delicious desserts such as dark chocolate cake, tiramisu or berry tart. The sweetness of the wine will complement the character of the dessert, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. Additionally, the sweet spices and nutty notes in the wine will also pair well with dishes such as lamb tagine or duck confit, adding a hint of sweetness to the savory spicy dish.
