WINE DESCRIPTION
From the flourishing vineyards of Amyndeon, Northwestern Greece, comes Alpha Estate's Sauvignon Blanc Fumé, a wine that effortlessly marries the New World vigor with Old World elegance. Alpha Estate, well-regarded for its avant-garde approach and respect for terroir, crafts this wine from meticulously selected grapes, offering a vivid representation of Greece's vast viticultural potential. The 'Fumé' in the name hints at the wine's passage through oak, a method that lends additional depth and complexity to the naturally vivacious character of the Sauvignon Blanc grape.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Upon pouring, the Alpha Estate Sauvignon Blanc Fumé graces the senses with a pale golden color, tinged with subtle green reflections.The bouquet is intense and multifaceted, with fragrant notes of ripe tropical fruits like passion fruit and mango, harmoniously intertwined with nuances of dried herbs, flint, and a touch of vanilla from the oak aging. As it ventures onto the palate, the wine showcases a robust character, presenting flavors of citrus zest, ripe stone fruits, and a wisp of smoky complexity. A beautiful underlying minerality, reflective of Amyndeon's unique terroir, is complemented by a bright acidity that ensures balance and longevity. The finish is persistent, leaving behind a trail of toasted almonds and citrusy freshness. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, white meats, or even as a standalone aperitif, making it a versatile choice for various gastronomic adventures.
