"Turtles" is the name of the single vineyard block, chosen by the Alpha Estate vinegrowing team to reveal the typical expression and unconditional character of Malagousia. The vineyard ecosystem called Turtles is an ancient nesting area for the local turtle species that we continue to preserve and protect. The vineyard is located at an altitude of 670 metres, at the south block of the estate, with northwest exposure, on low fertility soil of excellent drainage, facing Petron lake.
Alpha Estate Malagouzia PGI is a Greek white wine made at Alpha Estate in Amyndeon, northern Greece. Malagousia is an aromatic Greek white grape that was rescued from near extinction and is now one of the country's most exciting whites. Pour it with seafood, chicken or lightly spiced dishes. Alpha Estate Malagouzia PGI is available online at The Liquory, a Sydney-based bottle shop delivering Australia-wide.
