Nemea invites for the Young Wine Days

Nemea, one of Greece’s most powerful wine regions, is excited to announce the upcoming Young Wine Days festival. This year’s celebration will take place in the beautiful Peloponnese from August 31st to September 1st.

Ahead of the festival, our columnists visited Semeli Estate, one of the winners of the WTA vote. Despite facing a devastating wildfire that threatened the vineyards around Semeli for three days this hot summer, the resilience of Nemea shines through. The region’s exquisite wines, charming landscapes, and stunning winery design ensure that even such challenges cannot dampen the experience. This year, Semeli Estate is introducing two new low-alcohol wines— a white and a pink, each with a gentle strength of 6 degrees. These additions complement the popular salmon-pink DELEAR and the fresh SOFIA blend, made from Assyrtiko and Moschofilero grapes. Additionally, our journalists recommend ESPERA, a unique dessert red wine crafted from sun-dried berries. However, every Semeli wine is worth to be tried.

By the way, this year, Semeli Estate also offers an exquisite pairing experience. Enjoy a delicious lunch while taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and vineyards – a perfect way to savor their exceptional wines.

Don’t miss Papaioannou Estate, another esteemed WTA nominee and voting winner. This year, their impressive range of wines made from 100% organic grapes has been enhanced with several new releases.
For those who are unable to visit Nemea, the winemakers from this outstanding region are hosting the “Great Days of Nemea in Athens” wine festival starting Friday, August 30th. Join the presentations by Dr. Stefanos Koundouras and Yiannis Karakasis MW, and experience the best of Nemea’s wines in Athens.
