There is more to Greek wine than Retsina. Though they have international varieties planted for their red wines, the more interesting are the local grapes. Cavino Grande Reserve Nemea 2006 is made from Agiorgitiko grape (also known as St George). Deep ruby colour and a nose of tobacco leaf, cedar and cherries. It is an easy-drinking wine with a sweet cherry flavour that finishes dry and savoury with ripe tannins.
