This complicated wine is derived from the grapes of the Ancient Nemea vineyard. It is aged for 12 month in oak barrels. The variety’s deep red color and mature brown streaks are hormoniously composed. Overflowing with the barrel scents of cinnamon, pepper, cherry and vanilla. Soft and elegant, it produces both a fleshy and velvety flavor. It leaves an excellent aftertaste. It is served at 16-18C and ideally accompanies red meats with sweet sauces, oily cheeses, cured meats and spicy dishes. The history of Cellar wines dates back to 1964 when the first bottles are produced and the company makes its dynamic and pioneering entrance to the Greek market that is moving away from bulk consumption and is going into bottling. Cellar opts for select collaborations with well-known, established winegrowers, and becomes a pioneer in bottling “Protected Designation of Origin” wines. The Cellar Mantineia (Moschofilero) and the Cellar Nemea (Agiorgitiko) wines have since become the worthy ambassadors of these vineyards and contributed to the prominence of their qualities. In the 1970s, the Cellar Company manages to redefine rosé wine and upgrade its standing among white and red wines thanks to an advertising campaign titled “Cellar the Great Rosé”. In the 1980s, the Cellar wines establish themselves at the dinner table with the promotional slogan “Nighttime requires Cellar”. In 1998, a new generation of people takes over; people whose vision and know-how had been part of its workforce for a decade. They are called upon to continue its development with dedication and great respect to its history. The Cellar wines modernize their appearance and further improve their quality. New wines are created, with even higher quality and more attractive packaging. The reward is the growing confidence of consumers and the international distinctions. In 2011, the Company proceeds with the construction of its privately-owned facilities (warehouses and offices) and with its own fleet of vehicles manages to cater to its customers better and faster. Today, the Company employs qualified personnel and maintains its high standards when it comes to the quality of its products and services while it remains committed to keeping up this responsible attitude towards its consumers.
