Alpha Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2023

16.5 (Out of 20) Jancis Robinson
Plenty of easily identifiable Sauvignon character in green pea and ripe green figs, but also citrus and a touch of crushed stones. Open, lively, lightly herbal without being too green. Creamy lees texture and a very slight friction so that it is not just about the fruit. Sophisticated Sauvignon with a long finish and no unwanted sweetness. Long, dry finish.

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.

Location "Children’’ & ‘’Alpheta’’, 32,32ha, sub-regions. Amyndeon plateau.

Wine Notes
Brilliantly, light yellow in color with greenish tints. Strong and lively nose, typical Sauvignon Blanc, suggesting gooseberry, passion fruits, melon, litchi with a note of honeysuckle. Round and mellow on the palate, quite fat balanced although, with plenty of finesse. Crispy and well structured, reminding the nose aromas with a hint of lime. A richly textured wine with superb length and balance. A classy wine with long finish and persistent aromas. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Vegan.

Pairing Suggestions
Alpha Estate Sauvignon Blanc accompanies perfectly a huge range of “fruit de mer” dishes, grilled fishes, eastern gastronomy and pastas.
