In 2012, Agiorgitiko was the most widely planted red grape variety in Greece with {{convert|5202|ha|acres}} in Attica, {{convert|3204|ha|acres}} in Peloponnese and additional plantings in Macedonia and [[Epirus (region)|Epirus]]. The grape is most widely associated with the [[dry (wine)|dry and sweet]] red wines of Nemea in northeastern Peloponnese. Here the grape is only variety permitted in the ''[[Oeni Onomasias Proelefseos Anoteras Poiotitas]]'' (OPAP) (a designated wine region similar to the French ''[[Appellation d'origine contrôlée]]'' (AOC) system).<ref name="WSET">Wine & Spirits Education Trust ''"Wine and Spirits: Understanding Wine Quality"'' pg 135, Second Revised Edition (2012), London, {{ISBN|9781905819157}}</ref> In Nemea, the grape is only used for red wine production with its use in making [[rosé]] styles of wine prohibited. Around the town of [[Metsovo]] in Epirus, the grape is often blended with [[Cabernet Sauvignon]].<ref name="Wine Grapes"/>

According to Master of Wine Jancis Robinson, some of the "most serious examples" of Agiorgitiko come from the higher altitude vineyards (up to {{convert|900|m|ft}}) of the [[Asprokampos plateau]] around Nemea and in the hills (between {{convert|500|m|ft}} to {{convert|600|m|ft}}) around [[Koutsi]] in [[Corinthia]].<ref name="Wine Grapes"/>
