2020 Alpha Estate Xinomavro Hedgehog Vineyard

Media Reviews

Julia Harding MW

Full bottle 1,408 g. On lees for three months, 12 months in French oak. Light to mid cherry red. Glorious and classic Xinomavro aroma of tangy red fruits with a hint of tomato leaf but no greenness. Lovely fresh bite on the palate, succulent, mouth-watering. Firm, dry, chewy tannins that are just what you would expect from this variety in youth, but the balance of fruit and structure bodes well for the future. Wait a while for more complexity but you could just drink it now with food. Long, chewy, moreish and extremely fresh finish. Even better on the day after opening. 16.5+ points
