Lafazanis Winery Petra & Fos Agiorgitiko P.O.P. Nemea
A Refined Expression of Nemea Agiorgitiko
Lafazanis Winery Petra & Fos P.O.P. Nemea is a distinguished Greek red wine made exclusively from the Agiorgitiko grape variety, one of the most important and celebrated indigenous red grapes of Greece. Produced in the renowned Nemea wine region, this elegant wine showcases the depth, character and versatility that Agiorgitiko can achieve when grown in carefully selected vineyards.
The grapes are strictly selected from very limited yields and excellent maturation in the districts of Achladias and Koutsi in Nemea. As a result, the wine delivers impressive concentration while maintaining balance and harmony. The careful selection of the fruit is an essential part of its character, allowing the wine to express the distinctive qualities of its origin.
Traditional Vinification and French Oak Ageing
The winemaking process begins with alcoholic fermentation and extraction in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 23°C. Furthermore, selective red vinification takes place over a long period, helping extract the colour, aromas and structure required for a complex and age-worthy red wine.
Following fermentation, Petra & Fos spends 12 months ageing in new 300-litre French oak barrels with medium toasting. This carefully managed maturation adds depth and subtle oak complexity without overpowering the natural character of the Agiorgitiko. Consequently, the finished wine achieves an extremely balanced and harmonious profile, combining ripe fruit character with refined structure.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, Lafazanis Petra & Fos displays a deep ruby-red colour. On the nose, it reveals an appealing aromatic profile reminiscent of fragrant flowers and ripe red and black fruits. Cherry and plum notes combine with nuances of sweet pepper and nuts, creating a layered and expressive bouquet.
On the palate, the wine offers a rich yet well-balanced character, with generous fruit flavours supported by the structure gained through extended vinification and French oak ageing. The combination of ripe fruit, spice and subtle nutty notes makes this a particularly versatile Greek red wine for both dining and relaxed occasions.
Food Pairing and Serving
Petra & Fos is an excellent companion for juicy red meats, grilled dishes and spicy foods. Its fruit concentration and structured character work especially well with richly flavoured meals, while the wine’s balanced profile helps complement rather than overwhelm the food.
For the best experience, serve this Nemea red wine at 16–18°C. With an ageing potential of approximately five years, it can also develop additional complexity with careful cellaring.
