Alpha Estate
Axia Syrah Xinomavro
Honestly impressed with how well this has held up and aged gracefully. Delicious, nice developed tannins, slight earth. Dark cherry.

Sep 6th, 2023Vintage 2016 | Interesting combination of Syrah and Xinomavro. Rubyred colour. Frivolous smell with berries and plums. A lot of character. And power. Good acidity. A wine for fine dining. Winegrower Makis Mavridis. Winemaker Angelo Iatridis. | Paired with a grilled entrecôte.

Very interesting. Syrah red fruit notes that are very layered with a rustic Nebbiolo like edge. Tannins are firm and continue off the mid palate.
