Dark-fruited, expressive, and full of quiet power, Route 111 takes you on a journey through the heart of the Peloponnese, from the sunlit hills of Nemea to the cool slopes of Aigialeia. A 50/50 blend of Agiorgitiko and Mavrodaphne, it opens with aromas of black cherry, plum, and dried fig, layered with hints of clove, rosemary, and a touch of wild earth. On the palate, it’s generous yet refined with ripe red fruit wrapped in velvety tannins, lifted by mountain freshness from vineyards sitting 640 metres above sea level. Extended ageing has softened the structure and deepened the flavour, leading to a long, savoury finish of spice and smoke.

For when: Dinner’s slow, the fire’s low, and conversation lingers.
Pairs with: Chargrilled steak, meaty casseroles, or aged Greek cheeses.
If this wine were: A winding mountain road at sunset - bold, scenic, and full of unexpected turns.

From their high-altitude vineyards in Mantinia, the Troupis family continues to redefine Greek wine with creativity and authenticity. Route 111 is their ode to the Peloponnese, a symbolic blend uniting two of the region’s great red grapes: Mavrodaphne from the cool slopes of Aigialeia and Agiorgitiko from the warmer hills of Nemea. Both sites sit at elevation, where rocky soils and mountain air yield fruit of purity and depth.
