Reviews
"Semeli Nemea is excellent." VOGUE - Stephen Brook
"Semeli Nemea - very smooth, high class, sweetish red... for drinking far into the night when other wines turn thin and sour. It would have driven Byron and Shelley mad with excitement." THE SPECTATOR - Auberon Waugh
"Semeli Nemea is good, mid-weight, fruity and fresh, with strawberry flavour and some oak." INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY - Kathryn McWhirter
"Semeli Nemea 1988... de couleur tres foncee, ce vin rouge epais debute par un excellent nez que prolonge un agreable gout de fiques seches, epices et musc. Une propriete exemplaire sur les collines d'Athenes. Monsieur et Madame Kokotou donnent au cepage grec Agiorgitiko ses lettres de noblesse - une propriete a suivre..." JEAN-MARIE AMAT - chef - cuisinier St. James

"Semeli White... soft, rounded, spicy and dry. Exotic fruit flavours and excellent long finish of fruit." WINE MAGAZINE POCKET WINE BUYER'S GUIDE 1995
"The best white at the tasting was a savatiano, Kokoto's Semeli '89, with a clean, gently almondy smell, herbaceous, leafy taste and an appealing bitter snap at the end which means it would stand up well with food." DAILY TELEGRAPH - Lucy Bailey
