Alpha Estate

Alpha Estate is located in Amyndeon, Northwest Greece, in the heart of the Amyndeon appellation and in a significant geo-morphological site. With beautiful views over the Petron and Vegoritida lakes it lies between the picturesque Nimfeon village, the beautiful ski center of Pisoderi (Vigla) and the ski resort of Ag. Athanasios (Voras - Kaimaktsalan). The altitude, exceeding 600 meters, its immediate proximity to the lakes, the moderate yearlong north west winds, low precipitations, the alluvium, sandy, low fertility soils, combined with a scientifically designed single block vineyard are the components to a unique terroir in which we achieve expression in the production of complex, unique and multidimensional wines. Alpha Estate is the brainchild of two visionaries, the 2nd generation Vinegrower Makis Mavridis and the Bordeaux trained Winemaker Angelos Iatridis. Their aim is to promote contemporary Greek vinegrowing and winemaking to the world. Human factor is indispensable to the expression of all elements, gracefully offered by the unique ecosystem of the single block, privately owned 220ha 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. Respect to nature, high quality, eco-friendly growing practices and typicity of the produced wines are possible by implementing mild, integrated viticulture and winemaking protocols, based on the most recent international standards. These are necessary conditions for the desirable result, wines sealed under the Alpha Estate label.
