Alpha Estate – Axia – Malagouzia

Axia Malagouzia – Alpha Estate | Modern, refined and aromatic, from Amyndeon

The Axia Malagouzia from Alpha Estate is an expressive, elegant white wine from the cool wine region of Amyndeon in north-west Greece. It shows the refined side of the Malagouzia grape, with lively aromas, lovely structure and a fresh tension.

Grapes & origin
100% Malagouzia from the estate’s own high-altitude vineyards (620–710 m) in Amyndeon, Florina. The microclimate, with cool nights and wide temperature swings, gives slow ripening, concentrated aromas and fresh acidity.

Vinification
Gently pressed and fermented at low temperature in stainless steel tanks. The wine rests briefly on its fine lees with bâtonnage for more complexity and mouthfeel. No oak ageing — pure, clean and fresh.

Tasting notes
Pale yellow with green reflections. Intense aromas of peach, lime, basil and orange blossom. On the palate round and lively, with juicy fruit, refreshing acidity and an elegant, mineral finish. Perfectly balanced between aromatic richness and freshness.

Serving tips
Serve at 8–10 °C. Excellent with white fish, salads with citrus dressing, chicken with Mediterranean herbs, or light Asian dishes. Also lovely as an aperitif.

Cellaring
Ready to drink, but can age 2 to 3 years and develop its elegance further.
