Nema
Nemea is Agiorgitiko country, but not all Nemea is created equal. Acra Winery takes the grape off autopilot and gives it altitude, care, and a voice of its own. Vines rooted deep in stony soils at the heart of the Peloponnese yield fruit that carries both the sun’s generosity and the mountain’s restraint.
This is no textbook Nemea. It’s smaller in scale, crafted with precision, stripped of the noise that makes so many reds blur together. The result is a wine that feels immediate yet grounded, juicy yet firm, classic yet unafraid to be modern.
Acra’s Nemea is proof that even in Greece’s most famous red appellation, authenticity still matters. A bottle that doesn’t just represent Nemea — it rethinks it.
