AboutAlpha Estate
Alpha Estate was founded in 1997 by viticulturist Makis Mavridis and chemist-oenologist Angelos Iatridis after they chose Amyndeon in northwestern Greece for their wine project. The vineyards occupy a high plateau between 620 and 710 metres, where cold winters, dry summers, cool nights, northwesterly winds and two neighbouring lakes shape the growing season.
The winery sits within the vineyards and uses gravity to limit handling. Grapes are harvested during the coolest hours.
