Off-dry perception of sweetness with floral notes and zippy acid made me co wider this for our own house wine list at Wyndham!

interesting slate undertones to ripe white stone fruit on the nose. hints of fresh herbs too. Light weight but with some viscosity, long on the finish. Nice

Jul 15th, 2017This Alpha Estate white is made from 100% Malagousia, a variety that was thought to be extinct until it was rescued in 1983. I'm glad it's rebounding, for the variety possesses both merit and charm, with pretty aromas of flowers, white peaches, candied lemon peel and wet stone. Refreshing and lively.

My first impression of this wine is that it is a bit reminiscent of torrontés. In the glass, it displays a pale, greenish-yellow hue. Honeysuckle and stone fruit aromatics leap from the glass. Mouthwatering grapefruit, green apple, and melon flavors intertwine with a sur lie induced, textured mouthfeel. The result is a wine that's both juicy and substantial, with tangy acidity and a finish that goes on and on. (sample)
