Alpha Estate, Florin (Amyndeon, Greece) Malagouzia 2017

 This is an aromatic and full-bodied white from northern Greece.  Alpha Estate is a top producer in Amyndeon and particularly in the Florina subregion.  Their 2017 Malagouzia is drawn entirely from higher altitude vineyards and it is a luscious sensory experience for those new to native Greek grapes.  Its rich aromas of ripe apple, peach and tropical fruits are enhanced by linden flower, herb and orange peel hints.  The flavors are equally rich and exotic with the luscious peach and tropical fruits backed by delicate floral, fresh herb and citrus peel tones.  It has a rich texture that makes it a good choice to pair with full flavored Mediterranean dishes or simply roasted chicken.
