Tasting Note

A wonderful example of Xinomavro, with its complex, but typical bouquet of small berried red fruits, leather and pepper, clove and vanilla spice. Structured, with rounded tannins and a balancing acidity, this wine has well-integrated oak and quince on the finish.

Product Notes

Alpha Estate Xinomavro Single Vineyard Hedgehog is a highly acclaimed red wine from Greece's Alpha Estate. It is made from the Xinomavro grape, a variety native to the Macedonian region of Greece known for producing bold, full-bodied wines with high acidity and firm tannins. The grapes are grown on the Hedgehog vineyard, located at an altitude of 620 meters on the slopes of Mount Vermio, providing ideal growing conditions. This wine boasts intense aromas of red fruits, cherries, and spices, with a savory, complex flavor profile that is elegant and long-lasting. It's a perfect match for roasted meats, hearty stews, and hard cheeses.
