Meden Agan – The name of the wine stems from the well known ancient Greek motto at the Oracle of Delphi meaning ‘nothing in excess’. Meden Agan is derived from the word ‘meden’ (meaning ‘zero, nothing’) and the adverb ‘agan’ (translates to ‘excessively’).
Meden Agan and Gnothi Sauton (know thyself), the two maxims
carved on the walls of the temple of Apollo at the Oracle,
were the fundamental principles of the ancient Greek spirit.
The motto Meden Agan is attributed
to Chilon of Sparta, one of the Seven Sages of the ancient
world. Through this motto he wished to imply that the truth
lies in the middle, without excess. It also brings to mind
Aristotle's maxim " virtue lies
in the middle " and the Latin " in
medio virtus ". Pindar, the lyric poet, closely
connected with the Oracle, also refers to this motto in his
Odes.
Meden Agan has a clear, dark ruby red color characteristic of the agiorgitiko variety. It has a velvety, soft round taste with a long finish in the palate. This wine is ideal
for long-term maturing. It should be served at 16°-18°C.
