Agiorgitiko is a lively and very productive variety. Principally cultivated in the Royat formation, but also in a cup-like formation. It is subjected to brief pruning during fruit bearing. It blends well with other varieties (notably with Cabernet Sauvignon grown many miles north in Metsovo to make the popular table wine Katoi) and can also produce good-quality rosé. The wine produced by Agiorgitiko is fruity but can lack acidity. Grapes grown on the higher vineyards of Nemea can yield long-lived reds, however, and the grape is Greece's second most planted red, after Xynómavro.
