 Gioulis Estate, a
producing and bottling boutique winery, in Klementi, Corinth,
Greece. George Gioulis, an agronomist, oenologist, and
Sommelier, who studied in Greece and abroad, has dedicated
himself to the cause of preserving the cultural heritage of wine
making in Greece.
Gioulis Estate, in
the mountainous area of Corinth close to the Nemea Valley at an
altitude of 750m, has a unique combination of the Southern
Mediterranean microclimate and the fresh crisp air of the Ziria
Mountains. The vineyards surround the newly built winery
equipped with a state-of-the-art bottling line and stainless
steel tanks. The wine is aged in new oak barrels in a separate
room. Organic cultivation was granted by DIO, the Greek organic
certifier, in 1997. Since then, all Gioulis wines made are DIO-certified
organic wines.
The Estate’s
initial four-hectare vineyard was planted in 1993 with Cabernet
Sauvignon at an altitude of 750m. The second vineyard, three
hectares at 1000 meters, was planted exclusively with
Chardonnay. In 2001, the Estate’s third vineyard, three
hectares at 800m, was planted with Sauvignon Blanc.
From the 1999
harvest, Gioulis is offering a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon –
Aghiorgitiko wine, produced from organic grapes. This fresh and
delightful wine is meant to be enjoyed daily. The primary grape
aromas of the Aghiorgitiko blend well with the full-bodied
Cabernet Sauvignon.
From the 2000
harvest, Gioulis Estate bottled an excellent Organic 100%
Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine with soft tannins, well-balanced
aromas and a long finish. This wine has won awards and high
acclaims from Food & Drinks 2002 in Greece and Prowein 2002 in
Germany.
The 2001 vintage
in its pre-release state received a Silver medal at the 2003
International Wine Competition in Thessaloniki.
