Product Notes

Alpha Estate's Xinomavro Single Vineyard Hedgehog Rosé is an exquisite Greek wine striking for its rich pomegranate colour. Crafted from the indigenous Xinomavro grape, it is a full-bodied rosé evoking delicate aromas of red forest fruits, accented by understated spice notes. This wine presents a balanced palate brimming with vibrant acidity, rounded off by a lengthy finish, providing an engaging, refreshing experience. With its fine tannic structure and mature depth, it pairs beautifully with lighter meat dishes and salads. An exceptional showpiece of Alpha Estate's mastery, evoking the unique charm of their Hedgehog Vineyard in Amyndeon, Macedonia.

Tasting Notes

A pale and lively pink coloured rosé with an aromatic and fresh bouquet of peach and strawberry, layered with rose petals, spice and mineral notes. Crisp with a creamy, fruity palate through to a long finish.
