Sauvignon Blanc Alpha Domaine
€21,10
Sauvignon Blanc by Alpha Estate is a dry white wine from the Amyndeon winegrowing zone, with the clean, cool character you expect from the variety, but with a little more depth and texture. Florina, with its cool climate and high-altitude vineyards, helps Sauvignon Blanc keep its intensity, energy and aromatic clarity, without becoming excessive or one-dimensional.
The wine is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, from the Paidia and Alfeta vineyard sites of Alpha Estate. Winemaking includes pre-fermentation maceration in a controlled environment, fermentation at graduated temperatures and 4 months on the fine lees with periodic stirring. This lees work gives the wine a fuller body and a lovely mouthfeel, without taking away its freshness.
In the glass, it is bright, with a pale yellow colour and greenish highlights. The nose moves between citrus fruit, passion fruit and melon, with clear varietal intensity and a refreshing feel. On the palate, it is full, smooth and balanced, with lively acidity, fine elegance and a finish that keeps the aromas going for a while.
This is a Sauvignon Blanc that can easily stand on its own, but also has enough structure for food. Try it with seafood, raw or steamed shellfish, grilled fish, pasta with creamy sauces, grilled vegetables, sushi and Asian-inspired dishes.
