Alpha Estate – Sauvignon Blanc – Fumé

Sauvignon Blanc – Alpha Estate | Fresh, aromatic and elegant

The Sauvignon Blanc from Alpha Estate is a refined, aromatic white wine from the cool wine region of Amyndeon in northern Greece. Thanks to the high altitude of the vineyards, it combines intense aromas with lively freshness and an elegant structure. A modern Sauvignon Blanc of international class.

Grapes & origin
100% Sauvignon Blanc from Alpha Estate‘s own vineyards in Amyndeon (Florina), at an altitude of around 620–710 metres. The cool climate and well-drained soils give aromatic intensity and fresh acidity.

Vinification
The grapes are hand-picked and undergo cold maceration for maximum aromatic expression. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperature, followed by ageing on the fine lees for extra complexity and texture.

Tasting notes
Clear light yellow with green reflections. On the nose intense aromas of citrus, passion fruit, gooseberry, green apple and subtle herbal notes. On the palate fresh and lively, with lovely minerality, elegant structure and a long aromatic finish.

Serving tips
Serve at 8–10 °C. Delicious with grilled fish, shellfish, sushi, fresh salads, goat’s cheese or light pasta. Also perfect as a stylish aperitif.

Cellaring
3 to 5 years — keeps its freshness and gains extra complexity with a short spell in bottle.
