Greece's winemaking history stretches back thousands of years, but it's only recently that its indigenous varieties have begun receiving the international recognition they deserve. Agiorgitiko (ah-yor-YEE-ti-ko) – often called the 'Blood of Hercules' – is one of Greece's most important red grapes, and Zacharias showcases it beautifully in their Omikron bottling.
Coming from Nemea, Agiorgitiko's spiritual home in the Peloponnese, this wine offers the perfect introduction to Greek reds. It sits somewhere between Merlot's plushness and Sangiovese's savory character – approachable yet distinctive.
The Zacharias family has been making wine for generations, combining modern techniques with respect for tradition. The result is a wine that's both authentically Greek and universally appealing – no knowledge of Greek mythology (or pronunciation) required.
