    Nemea Agiorgitiko Deep Dive

    In the stadium tunnel at ancient Nemea, athletes scratched their names into the stone walls 2,300 years ago. TELESITAS. NIKO. Still legible. Agiorgitiko — the 'Blood of Hercules' grape — grows at three elevations here: 230m, 550m, 850m. Same grape, three completely different wines. Hercules strangled the Nemean lion with bare hands, then drank the local wine. At Lafazanis, three generations still stomp grapes in 1946 concrete lagars every September. Jancis Robinson noted most of the juice gets drunk by visitors before it reaches the fermentation tanks.
