Περιγραφή
In the beautiful vineyards of Alpha Estate in Amyntaio, winters are cold and harsh, while summers are mild and cool. In other words, the ideal conditions for an elegant white wine that offers an explosion of aromas and acidity in the same glass. Fresh citrus fruits, peach, mango, white flowers and bell pepper are just some of the aromas and flavors to enjoy. Watch the video made for the wines of the Resurrection, where Alpha Estate's Sauvignon Blanc is also recommended and tasted.

Vineyard: 650-hectare privately owned trellised vineyard at an altitude of 620-710 m.
Soil: Sandy to sandy-clay, with excellent drainage.
Climate: A fairly cool year, with no particularly high temperatures and low rainfall, within the normal range for the region. The vines had a satisfactorily long biological ripening cycle.

Winemaking: Pre-fermentation maceration in a controlled environment, alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature, and three months of aging on the lees with periodic stirring.
Tasting notes: Crystal-clear and bright, with a pale yellow color and greenish highlights. The nose is intense and rich, typical of the variety, with aromas of citrus fruits, passion fruit and lychee, along with a sweet hint of melon. The palate is quite full-bodied, smooth and rich, with excellent balance, freshness and finesse. A lively finish helps the aromas linger.

An excellent match for salads (lettuce with Roquefort, purslane with tomatoes, ham and Gouda), pasta with white sauce and broccoli-asparagus, shellfish, seafood, white meats with herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano), chicken with spinach, soft goat cheeses, kasseri, sweet manouri, some desserts (lemon tart, apple pie, sorbet), and fresh fruit, especially melon.
