Alpha Estate - Aghia Kiriaki Assyrtiko 2022

The Alpha Estate Ecosystem "Aghia Kiriaki" Assyrtiko 2022 is a highly-rated, premium dry white wine from the Amyndeon Viticulture Zone in Macedonia, Greece. Unlike the hot, volcanic island of Santorini where Assyrtiko originates, this wine is crafted in a cooler, high-altitude continental climate, resulting in a distinctively elegant and mineral-forward expression.

Profile Overview

• • Grape Variety: 100% Assyrtiko.
  • Origin: Single block "Aghia Kiriaki" (2.45 hectares) situated at an altitude of 535–710 meters in the Florina region.
  • Alcohol Content: Approximately 13% ABV.

Tasting Notes

• • Appearance: Bright, pale yellow-straw with subtle greenish hints.
  • Nose: Intense and complex aromas of fresh lemon zest, salted olives, Asian pear, crushed chalk, and white flowers.
  • Palate: Full-bodied yet beautifully structured, matching tropical and citrus fruits (grapefruit pith, toasted pineapple) against an intense, flinty minerality and bright, racy acidity.
  • Finish: Crisp, dry, long, and exceptionally persistent.

Food Pairings: Because of its crisp backbone and saline qualities, this wine pairs beautifully with high-fat or delicate seafood options:

• • Shellfish: Fresh oysters, crab legs, or grilled lobster with drawn butter.
  • Fish: Roasted Mediterranean rockfish or sea bass drizzled with olive oil.
  • Mains: Creamy herb pastas or roasted poultry
