Imiglykos wines

The Imiglykos wine

Are you looking for a tasty Greek wine? Who does not know it, the Imiglykos wine, characterised by its semi-sweet taste. The Imiglykos is made from the most common Greek grape varieties, which include the Agioritiko and Roditis.

It is an ideal wine for a novice wine drinker as it contains more residual sugar than any other dry wine. The more sunshine the grapes get, the higher the sugar content. During the production process, most of these sugars are converted into alcohol. The sugars that are not converted are called residual sugars.

producers

We know many of the wine products well ourselves, having worked together for several years. We regularly visit the plantations and wineries to maintain our relationships and to taste the (new) wines. Our range includes the well-known Imiglykos wines from the great winemaker Kleoni, but we also enjoy importing wines from local winemakers to the Netherlands. One example is the winemaker Nestor, with its three very special Imiglykos wines. Extra special: this vineyard is located 20 km from our home village.

Wines in Greece

Beautiful Greece offers a climate that is very suitable for growing grapes, which means that a large variety of grape varieties are cultivated. On the Peloponnese peninsula, where most of our wines come from, many wines are produced. The annual wine production here is over 1.5 million hectolitres. The history of wine here goes back to the Middle Ages: the first wine was made here about 7,000 years ago. Nemea is known worldwide as the best Greek wine region, with very good wineries.

The Greeks prefer to serve their wine from a red wine jug, a κατρουτσο. In the regular tavernas in Greece, wine glasses are not served as we know them in the Netherlands, but small traditional wine glasses. We also offer these wine cans and wine glasses in our range.

We would like to help you find the wine that suits your dish or taste. That's why we have added informative videos to all our wines, telling you more about the wines and how you can best combine them. You can also always call us for appropriate advice.
