Alpha Estate Xinomavro Reserve Vieilles Vignes Single Block Barba Yannis 2020

The Alpha Estate Xinomavro Reserve Vieilles Vignes Single Block Barba Yannis is named in honour of Mr Yannis, from whom the block was purchased in 1994. The vineyard is located in Amyndeo, in the region of Macedonia and the vines are un-grafted, pre-phylloxera bush vines which are over 90 years old. After vinification the wine was maintained on its fine lees ("sur lie") for eighteen months with regular stirring. The wine matured in French oak for 24 months before being bottled without fining or filtration and then spent a further 12 months ageing in the bottle before release. A complex and typical Xinomavro (pronounced Ksee no' ma vro), showing aromas of smoky black fruits, strawberries, dark cherries, liquorice, sundried tomatoes, and delicate spice. Full bodied and structured on the palate, with a rich depth of fruit, concentrated savoury notes and a touch of oak. The velvety tannins lead through to a persistent and aromatic finish.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.

Alpha Estate Vielles Vignes - Xinomavro

This was great drinking and value. As an inveterate red drinker and newcomer to Greek wine, it more than matched in price, quality and interest equivalent priced options elsewhere. . We loved it.
