From their own website:

“Alpha Estate is located in the northwest part of Greece, Amyndeon, Florina region.

Alpha Estate was founded in 1997 by the experienced viticulturist Makis Mavridis and chemist-oenologist Angelos Iatridis, who, after years of experience in various locations of Greece and abroad, chose the Amyndeon region to create his own wine.”

It is a large property – 220 hectares of vines in total.

Grape variety:
100% Malagousia, fermented cool in steel tank then kept on the lees for a couple of months before early bottling.

The Bottle Shop rating:
Beautifully perfumed, rich but delicate white from one of Greece’s most celebrated indigenous grape varieties. A great aperitif, particularly with nibbles packed full of spice and flavour (as they so often are).
