Hedgehog Vineyard isn't Alpha's top-of-the-line Xinomavro, but it's a great value point. Holding perfectly, it's classic--muscular but with superb mid-palate finesse and acidity that makes it seem very elegant and fresh.
The crisp, juicy finish is bursting with good fruit, so it has flavor to go with its classy demeanor.
No rush diving in. Mid-$20s, 13%.

@winedrinker As in many regions, there is an old-school, new-wave debate. Classic Xino tends to be a bit tannic and in need of cellaring. But there are places making more accessible versions. Alpha Estate's, for instance, I love, and is rather accessible. Foundi is old school and I love that too.
Where do you draw the line? I dunno. There is no one answer. I taste the wine. Will it age? Balance? Does it work or not?

This Naoussea, the "Lady of Naoussa," is a blend of Northern Greek Xinomavro vineyards (unlike the Estate wine) from Foundi winery, but it sure seems sophisticated.
Silky and tight, it has an earthy hint, plenty of power as it hits age 10, purity of fruit and fine acidity. The mid-palate finesse is admirable. It's old-school Xinomavro in the best sense, needing air and food. This is increasingly impressive as it sits.
$30-ish, 13% alc.

When I saw it close to release, I thought it was great, but it was certainly unevolved. It is closer to stunning now, but it still can improve. Superb.
14.3% alc. $45 near release.

It kept getting better, and I liked it more & more with food and air. It was gorgeous the next day.
It can still improve & last another decade, likely more. 13% alc, $40-ish

This '04 Naoussa (all Xinomavro) is super. It has (no surprise) acquired more harmony in the cellar, but the brightness typical of the grape makes it fresh, lively and vibrant. If the tannins have moderated, this still has some power. The fruit is prime time, the mid-palate finesse is appealing.
Best of all, a fine bargain from big Boutari in Greece--around $30 in new vintages.This silky red looks like it will continue aging gracefully for 10+ years. 13% alc.

Someone brought this familiar friend, Alpha Estate's Xinomavro Reserve VV (2020 vintage) from Northern Greece.
Sometimes a bit powerful in its youth, this had (so I'm told) a nice, but gentle slow-ox decant and it was drinking beautifully, fresh and fruity with silky texture and finesse in the mid-palate. It's always on the elegant side! The fruit is pure with some black cherry. Lovely. Around $50 these days.

2012 Xinomavro Hedgehog Vineyard from Alpha Estate in Northern Greece.
Reasonably priced, in the $20s, it still has aged beautifully, because it is Xinomavro. 😊 In perfect shape, it's ripe with good acidity, a juicy finish and a hint of funk. It's a good price point in Alpha's red lineup, a friendly style with some distinction. No rush, but this is a great time to dive in.
