Product Notes

Alpha Estate Axia Red is a sumptuous Greek wine hailing from the distinguished Amyndeon region. This full-bodied blend of Syrah and Xinomavro grapes offers a harmonious marriage of traditional Greek winemaking infused with modern techniques. The enticing ruby red hue complements a rich bouquet of wild berries, spices, and hints of violet. On the palate, the wine flourishes with robust tannins, tasting notes of ripe red fruits amid a velvety texture. The finishing touch is an enduring, delectably spiced aftertaste. Perfect for bold food pairings, Axia Red speaks volumes about the rising stature of Greek wines. Suitable for a wide array of tastebuds.

Tasting Notes

A complex bouquet of ripe blackberry combined with exotic spice, vanilla, clove and cracked pepper. Full bodied on the palate, with rounded tannins, a balancing freshness, this blend delivers rich, dark fruits and intense quince flavours, with vanilla tones from the seamlessly integrated oak through to a long persistent finish.
