The Alpha Estate Malagousia Wit embodies the essence of craftsmanship and dedication at the renowned Alpha Estate, located in the serene Amyndeon region of northwest Greece. This 100% Malagousia wine is a beautiful representation of an indigenous Greek grape variety, elevated to excellence by the expert hands of winemakers Makis Mavridis and Angelos Iatridis. Grown at an altitude of 670 meters, the grapes benefit from a unique microclimate that promotes the development of deep and complex aromas. Often compared to varieties like Viognier and Gewürztraminer for its aromatic profile, the Malagousia grape is carefully vinified without oak aging to preserve its freshness and vibrant character. The wine is aged "sur lie" for two months, contributing to its round and full palate.
Aromatic Symphony
In the glass, Alpha Estate Malagousia reveals a brilliant pale yellow color with greenish hues, immediately capturing the eye. The nose is flooded with vibrant and powerful aromas of rose petals, passion fruit, and honeydew melon, supported by sweet spices and hints of lychee and honeysuckle. This wine is a true expression of the terroir, its fragrant notes reflecting the complexity of the Malagousia grape. Each sip delivers a luxurious experience, its round and tender texture harmoniously balanced by a fresh, almost spicy finish. The finesse and structure of this wine make it not only a pleasure to drink but also a wonderful conversation starter at the table.
Culinary Combinations and Servings
The versatility of the Alpha Estate Malagousia White makes it an excellent choice for a wide variety of dishes. Perfectly served at 11°C, this wine pairs beautifully with green salads, sautéed vegetables, pasta, and light fish dishes. Its aromatic qualities particularly complement Greek seafood meze, where the fresh and vibrant notes enhance the flavors of the sea. This Malagousia is not only a beautiful complement to a meal but also an exquisite choice for those seeking a unique wine to celebrate special moments or simply savor the finer things in life. With its impressive balance and lingering finish, Alpha Estate Malagousia White promises a memorable wine experience.
