Product Description
Destemming, no crushing, cold soak – skin contact under controlled conditions, alcoholic fermentation at gradual increasing temperatures, maintenance of wine “sur lie” for eight months with regular stirring. Eighteen months in Allie - Bertrange oak casks medium - light toast. No treatment or filtration before bottling, and twelve months in bottles. Tasting Characteristics: Deep ruby color with purple hints. Powerful, pungent aromas of sweet cherry, candied plum and toasty vanillin oak. Full bodied and deep in dark fruit flavors, with a peppery and strong oak spicy accents background. The solid tannins build through the finish but there is plenty of supporting depth of fruit here, not to mention a bright acid lift on the back that adds energy. A ‘’Vin de Garde’’ with a great future. Harmony: Pairing harmoniously with juicy red meats, venison, barbecued or spicy cooked. Meat pies as well. Paired with aromatic-piquant cheeses assures another intriguing suggestion. Best served at 16-18ο C. (60,8-64,4 ο F).

Alpha Estate

ALPHA ESTATE is located in the region known as Amyntaio, Florina, in the northwest of Greece. It was founded in 1997 by the experienced vine grower Makis Mavridis and the chemist-oenologist Angelos Iatridis. The latter, after having worked in various places in Greece, selected Amyntaio as the ideal region to make his own wine.ALPHA ESTATE aims at developing and making best use of the privately-owned single vineyard, extending to 650 acres. This vineyard, with high-standard installation and management specifications, enables the production of wines of Amyntaio Appellation of Origin of Superior Quality, but also of white and red Local Wines. On the other hand, the modern winery, situated in the heart of the vineyard, meets all requirements for the preservation of its high quality potential.The philosophy of the people working for ALPHA ESTATE is based on the use of modern techniques in irrigation, crop protection -integrated crop management systems-, the establishment and cultivation of the fields and the determination of the maturing period. Their objective is to produce wines representative of the "terroir" (ecosystem), that is, indicative of the special characteristics of their place of origin, soil and climate conditions, but also of the strong originality of the wine producing vine varieties. The human factor adds value to this exceptional soil and climatic conditions, managing the establishment and making optimal use of this favourable ecosystem.When planning the quality of the Estate's vine, and wine products, the selection of the wine making technique and its implementation throughout the fermentation-maturation-ageing process, as well as the close attention to all steps preceding bottling, are also most definitely taken into account.The team at ALPHA ESTATE tries to highlight the potential inherent to the vine ecosystem, established in the Amyntaio region.

Florina

Archaeological findings testify that the Florina region has been inhabited since 6000 BC. During the classical era, it was under the administration of the royal house of Lyncestes, then under Roman occupation, the Byzantine Empire and, finally, under Ottoman rule. It was only in 1912 that it was liberated. The rich flora and fauna of the Prespes lakes, the forests with beeches, oak trees, firs and cedars, the small and larger rivers are only some of the treasures of the area. Visitors are awe-struck by the well-preserved traditional settlements, the mountains and gorges, the waterfalls and the natural hot water reservoirs.
