Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for half an hour. Starting initially from a 10-hectare vineyard in the Drama region, the Costa Lazaridi estate now extends over more than 230 hectares of vineyards with native Greek and other international varieties. Production is limited with low yields to ensure the best possible grape quality. The cellar is equipped with state-of-the-art winemaking equipment, reception areas for visitors, as well as a space for aging wines and a distillery. The company also produces balsamic vinegar. The Costa Lazaridi Oenotria Land Cabernet Agiorgitiko is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, with minor additions of Agiorgitiko. The grapes come from certified organic vineyards. The Agiorgitiko moderates the intensity of the Cabernet Sauvignon while maintaining the varietal characteristics. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. The wine reveals a good intensity of aromas including dark fruits such as forest berries, blackberries, and plums followed by chocolate, sweet spices and smoky notes. On the palate, it is deep, full-bodied, and round with good balance and soft tannins. It is a warm wine and the finish is spicy, elegant, and persistent. It is perfect with roast lamb or duck but also goes well with steak and beef stew.
