This flagship Xinomavro from Amyndeo region is sourced from old ungrafted vines, giving very low yields and thus dense fruit. Alpha Reserve possesses a deep ruby color, aromatic complexity of plums, cherries and tomato-like vegetality, backed-up by firm, yet ripe tannins, freshness and high acidity.
