2017 Alpha Estate Xinomavro Hedgehog Vineyard

Media Reviews

Julia Harding MW

Mid ruby – seems a little paler than usual? Lively and peppery on the nose, lightly herbal (I could imagine there were some stems in here but I don`t know if that is likely with Xinomavro) but still with lovely red-cherry fruit, quite a delicate fragrance for this variety. A little bit smoky/stony too. Incredibly juicy on the palate with really refined tannins and terrific freshness. Real purity here with the fruit dominating the oak in a succulent and refined whole. And clearly much more complexity to come as there`s very little tertiary development yet. 17+ points
