Power Meets Precision in Greece’s Cool-Climate North.
Axia is Alpha Estate’s bold yet impeccably balanced red blend, bringing together Greece’s noble Xinomavro with the depth and generosity of Syrah. Sourced from the high-altitude vineyards of Amyndeon, this wine captures the tension between structure and richness that defines the estate’s style — powerful, layered, and unmistakably refined.
The cool climate of Amyndeon plays a crucial role, preserving freshness and aromatic lift while allowing full phenolic ripeness. Xinomavro contributes backbone, acidity, and savoury complexity, while Syrah adds dark fruit, spice, and a polished texture. Careful oak ageing integrates these elements seamlessly, resulting in a wine that feels both modern and age-worthy.
Axia is a statement wine — confident, expressive, and crafted with precision. For the Irish market, it offers a compelling alternative to classic Rhône or Bordeaux blends, delivering depth and seriousness with a distinctly Greek identity.
Why we love it:
Axia is all about balance and ambition. We love how it combines Xinomavro’s structure and savoury edge with Syrah’s richness and warmth, creating a wine that is powerful yet controlled. It’s a bottle that feels special from the first pour to the final glass — ideal for slow dinners and memorable occasions.
