Alpha Estate 'Hedgehog Vineyard' - Xinomavro

This 2021 Xinomavro red wine hails from Amyndeon, Greece. Alpha Estate, situated in northwestern Greece, was established in 1997 by viticulturist Makis Mavridis and chemist - oenologist Angelos Iatridis. Spanning 220 hectares, it's paving the way for the next - gen winemakers. The founders' daughters are learning from their fathers, preparing to take over the winery while promoting organic farming. Crafted from 100% Xinomavro, a prized red grape native to Greece's Naoussa region, this bold wine offers bright red cherry notes and a hint of espresso and chocolate on the finish. It pairs perfectly with mushroom risotto or dry - aged steak.

To enjoy this Alpha Estate Xinomavro wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour after opening. Pour it into a wine glass and take a moment to smell the lovely red cherry, espresso, and chocolate scents. Sip it slowly to savor the flavors. Keep it in a cool, dark place when not in use. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. If you have any leftovers, seal the bottle tightly and store it in the fridge. It's best to consume the remaining wine within a day or two for the best taste.
