Alpha Estate Axia Xinomavro Syrah Amyndeon, Griekenland

Alpha Estate Axia Xinomavro Syrah is een moderne interpretatie van Noord-Griekenland waarin kracht en verfijning samenkomen. De wijn wordt gemaakt door Angelos Iatridis samen met wijnbouwer Makis Mavridis op het hooggelegen Amyndeon-plateau. Axia betekent “waarde” en verwijst naar het streven van het domein om terroir, precisie en rijpingspotentieel te combineren in één uitgebalanceerde blend van twee karaktervolle druiven. Wat maakt deze wijn bijzonder? De combinatie van hooggelegen wijngaarden op 620–710 meter met een 50/50 blend van Xinomavro en Syrah levert een wijn op met zowel structuur als aromatische diepte.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven komen uit Griekenland, uit Macedonië, op het Amyndeon-plateau binnen de subregio’s Petres en Dromos. De wijngaarden zijn lineair aangeplant en volledig in privébezit van Alpha Estate. Ze liggen op zandige tot zandige kleibodems met kalksteen, wat zorgt voor uitstekende drainage en natuurlijke frisheid in de druiven. Het klimaat is semi-continentaal met koude winters, regelmatige sneeuwval en frisse, relatief droge zomers met koele nachten. Constante noordwestenwinden en de afwezigheid van voorjaarsvorst dragen bij aan een gezonde rijping. De aanplantdichtheid bedraagt 5.900 stokken per hectare en het rendement wordt bewust beperkt tot circa 51–60 hl/ha na groene oogst en strenge selectie.

Vinificatie en rijping

De oogst gebeurt handmatig in kleine kisten van 15 kg om de kwaliteit van de druiven te waarborgen. Na ontsteling en lichte kneuzing volgt een koude inweking met schilcontact om kleur en aromatische intensiteit op te bouwen. De alcoholische vergisting verloopt met geleidelijke temperatuurstijging. Daarna blijft de wijn zeven maanden sur lie, wat betekent dat hij rijpt op de fijne gistcellen met regelmatige bâtonnage, dit geeft extra structuur en mondgevoel. De rijping duurt twaalf maanden in Allier eikenhouten vaten met medium tot lichte toast, gevolgd door nog eens twaalf maanden flesrijping. Het alcoholpercentage ligt rond 14%, met een frisse zuurgraad van circa 6 g/l en een pH van 3,52, wat de wijn balans en bewaarpotentieel geeft.

Druivensamenstelling

Xinomavro – Amyndeon
Xinomavro vormt 50% van de blend en staat bekend om zijn structuur, frisse zuren en kruidige complexiteit. In Amyndeon behoudt de druif zijn elegantie door de koele nachten op hoogte.

Syrah – Amyndeon
Syrah neemt de andere 50% voor zijn rekening en brengt rijp donker fruit, rondheid en kruidigheid in de wijn, wat de blend meer diepte en zachtheid geeft.

Proefnotities en serveertips

De kleur is intens paarsrood. In de neus komen complexe tonen van specerijen zoals vanille, peper en kruidnagel naar voren, samen met rijpe braam. In de mond is de wijn vol en geconcentreerd, met afgeronde tannines en een evenwichtige zuurgraad. Houttonen zijn duidelijk aanwezig maar geïntegreerd. De afdronk is lang en intens, met een kenmerkende toets van kweepeer in de finale. Serveer rond 16–18 °C. Deze wijn combineert uitstekend met gegrild rood vlees, lamsgerechten en rijke stoofschotels.

Utopia bedding is GREAT
Color: 15 - Sage Green, Size: King
I had never heard of Utopia before I suddenly needed to buy bedding for my adult autistic son. He has sensory issues so shopping for anything that touches his body is a bit of a nightmare. I took a gamble on these sheets but it paid off big time! He says they are the most comfortable sheets he has ever slept on and that he doesn't overheat sleeping in them. What I liked about them is that the pockets were deep enough that it fit on his oversized plush mattress easily. I love the color and the ones I bought were very true to the picture. These are soft, comfy, they look nice and they are affordable. I liked this brand so much that I went ahead and got pillows and a comforter from them as well. Its is great for my son and I am very pleased to have found a fabric he tolerates.

For soft, sensually awesome sheets- LOOK no more!
Color: 15 - Sage Green, Size: Full
Would give 10 stars if possible! (And this is a nonpaid for review!) When I received the sheets, instantly I knew that I had the right ones, had bought a down comforter close in color as well.. these sheets? The material is strong yet, soft and warm. So so especially soft, and when I make up the bed, ahhh! plus the corners on the fitted, such a cinch to pull over the mattress, even with a topper on the bed! Feels almost spa-like <3 Very comfy, so far in the winter and in 85 degree heat! Soft and easy peasy to care for, too. Washing is a breeze, dry and fold. So far the only thing I can smell on these sheets is my wonderful detergent! Will purchase again. And possibly, again! Thank you!!

Soft luxury on a modest price
Color: 01 - White, Size: King
These sheets are truly luxurious. They are thin, but feel wonderful against your skin. The sheets are roomy enough to latch onto the corners without having to lift the mattress and stretch. The thread count provides incredible softness against your skin. The pillowcases are roomy enough for your pillow so that you do not have to feel like you’re stuffing sausages.

Honest Company making things right!
Color: 02 - Antique White, Size: California King, Color: 02 - Antique White, Size: California King
Love how this Californai sheet set feels and they fit very nicely on my bed. They are beautiful although I am unhappy with the 2 small holes I found in the fitted sheet after pulling them out of the packaging. I am past the return as I was not able to use them on my bed because I was moving and my bed was in storage. This is very disappointing for such a beautiful sheet set. UPDATE- I have reached out to the company and they were very kind and helpful. I stated the situation along with pictures and the order # and the company quickly responded with a new fitted sheet. Such a delight to find an honest company wanting to do the right thing. I Will order from this company again.

Very thin. You get what you pay for.
Color: 01 - White, Size: Queen
You get what you pay for. I first noticed the softness which was great. The quality is very thin. They are cool which is great. I have not washed them yet. I would suggest washing them on cool and gentle by themselves. And because they are so thin I would fluff dry for an hour if you have that setting. The two things that damages clothes and sheets, etc. are if you have an agitator in your washer, those ruin clothes and the heat you choose for the fabric you’re drying I always wash my clothes on cold. I do not have an agitator anymore and on delicate and thin fabrics, I use fluff dry. It is cool, but it will dry, especially if it is thin and I’ve had to dry my fine delicates a little bit longer on fluff that way they don’t shrink because the shrinking comes in from the heat from the dryer so keep that in mind another good thing to remember if you got white sheets like I did is that when you use your detergent add a little bit of borax or laundry booster and they will help get them clean and sparkly white. I am on the fence about whether I would recommend this or not if you’re tight on money and you take good care of them I would recommend that you get them. I’m a linen freak and I buy mostly expensive sheets and I thought I would try this out so that’s where I’m at.
