The Alpha Estate Assyrtiko Single Block Aghia Kiriaki is a stunning expression of one of Greece's most celebrated white grape varieties. Sourced from a single, carefully selected block within Alpha Estate's acclaimed vineyards in the Amyndeon region of northern Greece, this wine delivers remarkable terroir precision — crisp acidity, citrus intensity, and a beautifully saline minerality that sets it apart from the crowd.

What Makes This Assyrtiko Special

Single-block origin: The Aghia Kiriaki block imparts a unique mineral signature and site-specific character impossible to replicate in a blend.
Vibrant acidity: Assyrtiko's naturally high acidity keeps this wine fresh, focused, and food-friendly across a wide range of dishes.
Complex aromatics: Expect lemon zest, white peach, green apple, and a whisper of flint — elegant and layered.
Exceptional ageing potential: Despite its freshness, this wine has the structure to develop beautifully over several years in the cellar.

How to Enjoy It

Seafood pairing: Perfect alongside grilled sea bass, octopus, or fresh oysters — its minerality is a natural match for ocean flavours.
Greek mezze table: Serve chilled with tzatziki, grilled halloumi, or marinated vegetables for an authentic taverna experience.
White wine exploration: Pair a bottle with the Alpha Estate Malagouzia Single Vineyard "Tortoise" White Wine 75cl or the Alpha Estate Sauvignon Blanc White Wine 75cl for a fascinating vertical tasting of Alpha Estate's white wine mastery.
Complete your Alpha Estate collection: Round out the evening with the Alpha Estate Rosé 75cl or explore the estate's bold reds like the Alpha Estate Xinomavro Single Vineyard "Hedgehog" Red Wine 75cl.

Grilled Lemon Herb Prawns with Assyrtiko Butter Sauce
Marinate large prawns in olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, and fresh oregano for 20 minutes, then grill over high heat for 2–3 minutes per side until charred and juicy. For the sauce, reduce a splash of Alpha Estate Sauvignon Blanc Fumé White Wine 75cl in a small pan with a shallot, then whisk in cold butter and a squeeze of lemon. Plate the prawns, drizzle with the sauce, and serve alongside a simple salad dressed with good Greek olive oil. Pour a chilled glass of Assyrtiko Aghia Kiriaki and enjoy the perfect coastal pairing.

FAQ

What is Assyrtiko wine?

Assyrtiko is a white grape variety native to Greece, most famously associated with the island of Santorini but also grown with great success in northern Greece. It is known for its high natural acidity, strong mineral character, and citrus-driven aromatics. The Single Block Aghia Kiriaki from Alpha Estate showcases the variety's expressive potential in the volcanic-influenced soils of the Amyndeon region.

How should I serve and store Alpha Estate Assyrtiko?

Serve this Assyrtiko well chilled, between 8–10°C, to best appreciate its vibrant acidity and mineral freshness. It pairs beautifully with seafood, light mezze dishes, and fresh salads. Store bottles on their side in a cool, dark place; while delicious young, this wine has the structure to reward cellaring for 3–5 years or more.
