Reviews

The Alpha Estate Axia Syrah-Xinomavro is a compelling red wine from the celebrated Alpha Estate winery in the Amyndeon region of northern Greece. This artful blend marries the peppery depth of Syrah with the tannic backbone and vivid acidity of Xinomavro, Greece's most noble indigenous grape. The result is a wine of real complexity — rich, structured, and unmistakably Greek in character.

Why This Wine Stands Out

Unique blend: Syrah brings dark fruit and spice, while Xinomavro adds earthy notes, firm tannins, and bright acidity — a pairing that rewards the curious wine lover.
Terroir-driven: Sourced from Alpha Estate's high-altitude vineyards in Amyndeon, where cool nights preserve freshness and aromatic precision.
Balanced and age-worthy: Generous body with elegant structure, suitable for drinking now or cellaring for several years.
Award-winning producer: Alpha Estate is one of Greece's most respected wineries, known for meticulous viticulture and expressive, high-quality wines.

How to Enjoy It

Pair with grilled meats: Ideal alongside lamb chops, beef souvlaki, or a slow-roasted leg of lamb — the tannins cut beautifully through rich, fatty cuts.
Explore the range: Compare it with the varietal Alpha Estate Syrah Red Wine 75cl or the pure Alpha Estate Xinomavro Single Vineyard "Hedgehog" Red Wine 75cl to discover how each grape shines on its own.
Cheese and mezze: Wonderful with aged hard cheeses or a spread of Mediterranean antipasti; try pairing it alongside the Alpha Estate Xinomavro Reserve Vieilles Vignes Red Wine 75cl for a fun vertical tasting at home.
Dinner party showstopper: Serve alongside the bold Alpha Estate S.M.X Red Wine Cuvée 75cl or the refined Alpha Estate One Red Wine 75cl for an impressive Greek wine flight.

Greek Lamb Stifado with Axia Syrah-Xinomavro: Brown 800g of diced lamb shoulder in olive oil until well-coloured, then set aside. In the same pot, gently soften 500g of pearl onions, add 3 garlic cloves, a cinnamon stick, 4 cloves, and a bay leaf. Return the lamb, pour in a generous glass of Alpha Estate Axia Syrah-Xinomavro and a tin of chopped tomatoes, then simmer low and slow for 2 hours until the sauce is thick and the lamb falls apart. Serve with crusty bread and pour the remaining wine alongside — or open a bottle of Alpha Estate Pinot Noir Red Wine 75cl for the table. Finish the meal with a chilled glass of Alpha Estate Rosé 75cl for dessert.
