Alpha Estate Axia

Alpha Estate, located in the picturesque Amyndeon Plateau in northwestern Greece, is renowned for its fine wines, including the renowned Axia. This red wine, a blend of equal parts Syrah and Xinomavro, is a showcase of craftsmanship and innovation. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested in the Petres and Dromos sub-regions, where the unique sandy and clay soils, combined with the semi-continental climate, provide optimal growing conditions. Cooler nights and annual snowfall contribute to the complexity and refined character of the grapes. The winemakers, Makis Mavridis and Angelos Iatridis, both pioneers in modern Greek winemaking, have, through their methodical and scientific approach, created a wine internationally recognized for its quality.

A Sensation for the Senses

The Alpha Estate Axia is visually alluring with its deep purple-red color, a precursor to the rich experience to come. The nose is complex and inviting, with a rich bouquet of spices like vanilla, pepper, and cloves that seamlessly blend with ripe blackberry aromas. On the palate, the influence of oak aging is clearly noticeable, with subtle vanilla notes and rounded tannins harmoniously balanced by the crisp acidity. This structure not only creates a pleasant mouthfeel but also a powerful finish in which the essence of quince lingers. The layering of flavors makes every sip a journey of discovery, making this wine a favorite for both wine lovers and connoisseurs.

Gastronomic Combinations and Storage Potential

The Alpha Estate Axia distinguishes itself not only in the glass but also on the table. This wine is perfectly suited to a wide range of dishes, from simple pasta with tomato sauce to more pronounced flavors like grilled meats and lamb chops. Its versatility also extends to cheese boards, with hard cheeses being a particularly good complement. Moreover, the wine offers excellent aging potential, thanks to its robust structure and well-integrated tannins. This aging potential makes it an excellent addition to any wine cellar, where it will only gain in complexity and depth with age. Whether it's a special occasion or a relaxing evening at home, the Alpha Estate Axia guarantees a memorable wine experience.
