Description

Fresh and fine, a white wine from Greece

The estate

Alpha Estate was founded in 1995 by two wine enthusiasts: Angelos Iatridis, currently the Cellar Master, and Makis Mavridis who now looks after the vineyard. In 2011 the estate began exporting a large amount of its wines and in 2014, Alpha Estate was listed in Wine & Spirit Magazine's Best World 100 Wineries - a title that it also enjoyed in 2019 and 2021. The estate was also voted as European Winery of the Year in 2020 by the prestigious magazine, Wine Enthusiast.

The vineyard

Alpha Estate's vineyards cover 220 hectares and are divided into six separate vineyards. All are located close to the winery, in the heart of the Amyndeon appellation in Greece. The viticultural practices used at the estate pay the utmost attention to the needs of the soil, plants and vines in order to preserve the ecosystems. Thanks to the sustainable methods used at Alpha Estate, the estate was awarded the "Certified Sustainable Viticulture" label in 2008.

Malagouzia Turtles Single Vineyard 2021 stems from vines located in the ‘’Turtles’’ region, at an altitude of 670 metres. The vineyard enjoys a north-western exposure and is rooted in clay-limestone soils.

Vinification and ageing

Following manual harvesting, the grapes are taken to the cellar where they begin a very precise vinification process. The grapes are destemmed, sorted and lightly pressed. The vinification is done in contact with the skins and takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wine remains in contact with its lees for 2 months with regular stirring.
