Rosé Alpha Domaine
€21,10
Rosé by Alpha Estate is one of the most distinctive rosé Xinomavro wines from Amyndeon, with clarity, freshness and enough structure to go beyond the idea of a simple summer wine. It is made from 100% Xinomavro and carries the Amyndeon PDO designation, a region where altitude and cool climate give the variety an intense aromatic profile, crisp acidity and a more refined expression.
In the winery, Alpha Estate works with strong attention to detail: destemming without crushing, optical grape sorting, short pre-fermentation cold maceration and fermentation at controlled temperatures. The wine remains for a few months on its lees with periodic stirring, gaining fuller texture and better balance, while the saignée method helps preserve fruit, intensity and elegant colour.
In the glass, it has a bright rosé colour with salmon highlights. The nose moves through strawberry, rose petals and red fruit, with a fresh, clean feel that shows the more elegant side of Xinomavro. On the palate, it is balanced, quite full, with lively acidity, a soft fruity character and a finish that lasts longer than expected from a rosé.
It can easily be opened on its own, but it shows even better with food. Pair it with Mediterranean dishes, tomato-based pasta, pizza, fish, prawns, chicken, fruit-based salads, charcuterie boards or mildly spicy Asian flavours.
