Product Notes

Alpha Estate Xinomavro Single Vineyard Hedgehog wine is a splendid Greek red, crafted from the indigenous Xinomavro grape. Plucked from the Hedgehog vineyard in Macedonia, this wine is exceptional in character. Its ruby hue projects a bouquet full of ripe red fruits, enticing spices, and a touch of oak. Sturdy yet delicate, the palate marries flavours of raspberry and blackberry with notes of vanilla and clove. It boasts a pleasing acidity and firm tannins, leading to an elegantly long finish. This wine encapsulates the depth and heft of old-world wines, reaffirming Alpha Estate’s celebrated winemaking prowess.

Tasting Notes

A wonderful example of Xinomavro, with its complex, but typical bouquet of small berried red fruits, leather and pepper, clove and vanilla spice. Structured, with rounded tannins and a balancing acidity, this wine has well-integrated oak and quince on the finish.
