Ripe berries and black cherry lead the way, joined by plum, a touch of gooseberry and soft caramel notes, with discreet oak adding polish rather than weight. The palate is smooth and velvety, full of supple dark fruit and gentle spice, with soft tannins giving the wine shape and a calm, rounded flow. There is richness here, but it is carried with finesse, making the wine feel polished, balanced and wonderfully drinkable. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"1163\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"873\" data-end=\"886\"\u003eFor when:\u003c\/strong\u003e roast lamb is on the table and the evening settles in slowly.\u003cbr data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"951\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"951\" data-end=\"966\"\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e grilled meats, aubergine dishes, tomato-rich stews, or hard cheeses with a little age.\u003cbr data-start=\"1053\" data-end=\"1056\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1086\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eIf this wine were a place:\u003c\/strong\u003e a hillside in Nemea at dusk, with warm stone underfoot and herbs on the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1165\" data-end=\"1782\"\u003eGaia (\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003epronounced Yay-ya) Estate is one of the pioneers of the modern Greek wine revolution, founded in 1994 by Leon Karatsalos and Yiannis Paraskevopoulos with the aim of showing the world just how fine Greece’s indigenous grapes can be.
