Alpha Estate Single Vineyard Hedgehog Amyndeo Xinomavro 2021

A wonderful example of Xinomavro, with its complex, with a typical bouquet of small-berried red fruits, leather and pepper, clove, and vanilla spice. Structured, with rounded tannins and balancing acidity, this wine has well-integrated oak and quince on the finish. Alpha Estate is located in Amyndeo, North West Greece. It is the brainchild of two visionaries, second-generation vine grower Makis Mavridis, and Bordeaux-trained wine maker Angelos Iatrides. Angelos is one of the most talented winemakers working in Europe. This pristine estate in the cool highlands of Western Macedonia comprises 120 hectares of privately owned single-block vineyards and employs the most up-to-date vineyard techniques and winemaking technology to produce world-class wines from French and indigenous Greek varietals.
