Augoustiatis is one more grape variety indigenous of the general region, cultivated by Ktima Brintziki in their vineyards at the river-Enipeas Valley. The grapes grow in the ideal microclimate of the vineyard and are carefully selected to reveal their full potential. The mid-September harvest yields around 650 kg/ha. Classic red vinification is performed with selected yeasts and under controlled temperature. Augoustiatis matures for 12 months in French oak barrels and ages for another 6 months in the bottle.

A medium-body red wine with silky tannins and a long aftertaste.
