If you’ve never tasted Greek wine before, this is the bottle that will make you wonder why you waited so long. This is the kind of wine that converts people—that makes them say, “I didn’t know Greek wine could taste like this.”
Born high in the mountains of northern Greece, this Assyrtiko comes from Alpha Estate’s breathtaking Aghia Kiriaki vineyard—620 to 710 meters above sea level, where cold winters, warm dry summers, and fresh night winds shape grapes with remarkable purity and tension.
The soil here is a beautiful mosaic of alluvium, sand, and sandy‑clay, offering perfect natural drainage and allowing the vines to express Assyrtiko with precision and elegance. From the moment you pour it, the wine gleams a crystal‑bright straw‑yellow, edged in fresh green hints that signal its vibrant personality.
Then the aromas begin—citrus blossoms, floral notes, and white stone fruits, rising with an intensity that is both inviting and unmistakably Greek.
On the palate, it is where Assyrtiko truly astonishes: creamy, crisp, beautifully structured, and driven by bright, mouthwatering acidity, finishing long and confidently—like a wine that knows exactly where it comes from. Some expressions of this vintage were crafted with gentle skin contact, adding layers of lemon zest, parmesan-like savoriness, and sweet white peach, all wrapped in a refreshing, light-bodied frame.
