Alpha Estate, Axia, Syrah/Xinomavro, Florina, Greece, 2021

Overview of the Wine
Alpha Estate was founded in 1997 by the experienced viticulturist Makis Mavridis and chemist-oenologist Angelos Iatridis, who, after years of experience in various locations of Greece and abroad, chose the Amyndeon region to create his own wine.

The knowledge and love for winemaking was passed on to the next generation. Angeliki Iatridou and Emorfili Mavridou carry on the tradition today, aspiring to evolve, while participating in the team’s common vision.

Human factor is indispensable to the expression of all elements, gracefully offered by the unique ecosystem of the privately owned 220 ha vineyard in the production of our wines. Main feature of our work is the ‘’soul’’ of the people that contribute every day to this dream, with respect to nature, combined with high quality and deeply eco-friendly growing practices of sustainable viticulture and winemaking, based on the most recent international standards. Professional know-how, experience and the team’s effort, throughout all stages of production and promotion, are necessary conditions to the desirable result: wines sealed under the Alpha Estate label.
