“Agios Chronos”: the Gold Diamond of Nemea at the Brussels International Wine Competition

Euphoria Winery, based in the historic wine region of Nemea, celebrates a remarkable distinction: Agios Chronos, its single-varietal Agiorgitiko wine, was awarded the Gold Medal at the Vienna International Wine Challenge. More than a prestigious accolade, this recognition confirms that Nemea’s Agiorgitiko can stand proudly alongside the great wines of the world.

A Distinctive Agiorgitiko

The Vienna Wine Challenge is one of the most demanding international wine competitions, with thousands of entries from over 40 countries. Agios Chronos stood out for its authenticity, elegance, and finesse. The expert panel, made up of renowned sommeliers, winemakers, and critics, praised its balance, structure, and aromatic purity.

The Identity of Agios Chronos

Agios Chronos is a pure expression of Agiorgitiko — the signature red variety of Nemea. Grown in carefully selected vineyards and vinified with great respect for the natural rhythm of the grape, the wine captures the essence of Euphoria’s philosophy: quality, authenticity, and depth.

Bright ruby in color, it opens with aromas of cherry, ripe plum, and subtle spice. On the palate, it delivers smooth tannins, fresh acidity, and remarkable balance. The finish is long and harmonious, revealing its graceful personality sip by sip.

A Wine with History and Promise

The success of Agios Chronos highlights Euphoria Winery’s dedication to crafting wines that honor their origin while meeting the expectations of discerning wine lovers. It is a wine that bridges tradition and modern expression — a tribute to the “time” that ripens not only the grape but the entire art of winemaking.

The Voice of the Winery

Speaking on the award, the Antonopoulou family shared:
“Agios Chronos is more than just a wine to us. It represents our bond with the vineyard, our respect for the land, and our devotion to pure Agiorgitiko. This gold medal fills us with pride and motivates us to continue our journey with the same love and dedication.”

Food Pairing and Moments

Agios Chronos pairs beautifully with Greek and Mediterranean cuisine — pasta with meat sauces, stewed chicken, savory pies, and semi-hard cheeses.
Best served at 15–17°C, it shines in both casual and celebratory settings.

The Future of Agios Chronos

The award-winning Agios Chronos marks only the beginning for a wine destined to become a benchmark for Nemea’s Agiorgitiko. Euphoria Winery aims to further expand its presence in both domestic and international markets, introducing Agios Chronos to a broader audience that values authenticity, elegance, and depth of character.
With its vision set firmly on the future, the Euphoria team continues to invest in quality, varietal expression, and the creation of wines that pay tribute to time — just as Agios Chronos was born to do.
