Alpha Estate Single Vineyard Assyrtiko 2015

Almost two years ago I asked Angelos Iatridis, owner of Alpha Estate, if he was interested in investing in Santorini. He honestly replied that he was thinking about this and if he was going to do it he would do it the right way.

Well the news are out and Iatridis did it but not in Santorini for the moment; he told me however today that he has not abandoned the idea of producing wine in the island but it will take cautious steps to make it happen. For now, he chose a single vineyard terroir in his beloved Amyndeon in Northern Greece. The wine comes from a vineyard of just 1.5 hectares called Agia Kyriaki with yields of 60 hl/ha at the usual high altitude plateau of Amyndeon around 535 metres.
