Domaine Gioulis Sofos Agiorgitiko 2021, often referred to as "The Wise One," is a Greek red wine that typically showcases the indigenous Agiorgitiko grape, sometimes blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, from the Peloponnese region. It presents a ruby color with violet tinges. On the nose, it offers vibrant aromas of sour red cherries, cranberries, and red forest fruits, complemented by subtle spicy notes of cloves, allspice, and black pepper. Further nuances of cassis, graphite, violets, and a hint of vanilla or toast can emerge, with some vintages showing menthol or even barnyard notes. The palate is dry, medium-bodied, with well-balanced acidity and firm, often drying, tannins, delivering flavors of fresh blackcurrant, blackberry, red cherry, and a touch of red pepper, sometimes with hints of black chocolate or tomato leaf. The finish is medium to very long, with enduring red fruit and spicy flavors.

This versatile red wine pairs beautifully with a variety of flavorful dishes, from hearty to spicy. It is an excellent match for roasted meats, such as spiced pork souvlaki with tangy yogurt mint tzatziki, grilled lamb chops glazed with lemon-olive oil (ladolemono), or a rare filet mignon with garlic and Stilton. Its vibrant red fruit and acidity also make it a good partner for pizzas, particularly those with spicy characteristics like Calabrese, or those with honey and goat cheese. Other ideal pairings include tomato sauces, spiced cuisines from the Middle East to India, marinated grilled vegetables dusted with red pepper flakes, garlic, and rosemary, or dishes featuring plums and cassis.
