Description:
Angelo Iatrides maps his vineyards in exceptional detail, so that he can fine-tune the farming down to each vine. That care shows in this wine, from a vintage that experienced both drought and excessive wetness. It’s textbook xinomavro in the most elegant way, notes of tomato, roses and forest floor mingling in its scent. It’s sweet, herbal and animal in flavor, with leather and lamb adding depth to the bright cherry and cranberry fruit, finishing with a cool freshness that lasts.
Located in the heart of Amyndeon in northwestern Greece, winemaker Angelos Iatrides established Alpha Estate in 1997. Working with a mix of international and indigenous varieties, Angelos crafts some of the most desirable wines in the region using his precise winemaking style. The single-vineyard "Hedgehog" has become the calling card wine for Alpha Estate. The Xinomavro vines were planted in 2000 and are grown in sandy-clay over limestone soils. Vinification takes place in stainless steel and the wine is aged for 12 months in a mix of new and used French oak barriques. This is a silky and inviting Xinomavro that makes for a great introduction to the region and Angelos' deft style.
