Protected Geographical Indication Florina
Variety Composition:
Sauvignon Blanc 100%.
Region / Location / Vineyard:
Amyndeon plateau. Amyndeon viticulture zone. North-western Macedonia. "Children’s" & "Alpheta" sub-regions. 69ha of Linear, privately owned vineyard situated at an altitude of 620-710m.
Vinification Method:
Skin contact for many hours, depending on the winemakers evaluation, controlled alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with cooling jackets, maintenance of wine "sur lies" for four months with regular stirring.
Tasting Characteristics:
Brilliantly, light yellow in color with greenish tints. Strong and lively nose, typical Sauvignon Blanc, suggesting gooseberry, passion fruits, melon, litchi with a note of honeysuckle. Round and mellow on the palate, quite fat balanced although, with plenty of finesse. Crispy and well structured, reminding the nose aromas with a hint of lime. A richly textured wine with superb length and balance. A classy wine with long finish and persistent aromas.
Harmony:
Alpha Estate Sauvignon Blanc accompanies perfectly a huge range of “fruit de mer” dishes, grilled fishes, eastern gastronomy and pastas.
Best served at 12ο C. (53,6 ο F).
