2010 Alpha Estate - Axia Malagouzia

2010 Alpha Estate - Axia Malagouzia

...one of those hot estates that should draw consumer attention. This winery has been considered to be a 'comer' for awhile. It is fair to end that talk. They have arrived and are making terrific wines.
- Robert E. Parker's The Wine Advocate

Alpha Estate is located in the heart of the Amyndeon, a wine region in the Northwest of Greece. The estate's vineyards cover over 160 acres situated on a plateau around 2,000 feet above sea level. Moderate temperatures and heavy winter rains create ideal conditions for the grapes to ripen. Poor soils with good drainage create a mild water deficit, resulting in small berries with intense red color and concentrated flavors and aromas.

Alpha Estate is presided over by Angelo Iatridis, considered by many to be Greece's most promising winemaker. Angelo cultivates international varieties as well as indigenous Greek varieties, and all the wines are crafted in Alpha's state-of-the-art gravity-flow winery. Alpha is considered one of the most cutting edge producers in Greece and has established the most technologically advanced vineyards in the viticulture world. They always strive for precision grape-growing and focused terrior-driven wines that are bold and exciting. Diamond Importers
88 points Wine Spectator:

A medium-bodied white, with effusive nectarine, peach, apricot and pear flavors that feature touches of richness. The creamy finish is lively and spicy. Drink now. 2,000 cases made. Jun 30, 2011

88 points Wine Advocate:

The 2010 Malagouzia "Axia" is quite charming, grassy, invigorating and fresh, with hints of mint and herbs. This is a lighter styled white, but it is distinctive and delicious, light but persistent. It is a sunny wine with good focus that drinks beautifully. Mark Squires
