The Alpha Estate Malagouzia Single Vineyard "Schildkröte" (Tortoise) is a remarkable expression of one of Greece's most captivating indigenous white grape varieties. Sourced from a single, carefully selected vineyard in the Amyndeon region of northern Greece — one of the country's highest-altitude wine zones — this wine showcases the exceptional terroir that makes Alpha Estate one of the most celebrated wineries in the entire Mediterranean.

What Makes This Wine Special

Single vineyard origin: Every bottle reflects the unique character of one specific plot, offering exceptional typicity and complexity rarely found in everyday whites.
Malagouzia grape: An ancient Greek variety, nearly extinct before its revival, known for its intoxicating aromas of jasmine, citrus blossom, peach, and exotic spices.
Cool-climate elegance: The high altitude of Amyndeon preserves natural acidity, resulting in a wine that is both aromatic and refreshingly crisp.
Limited production: Single-vineyard wines from Alpha Estate are produced in small quantities, making each bottle a true collector's find.

How to Enjoy It

As an aperitif: Serve well chilled alongside the Alpha Estate Malagouzia Single Vineyard "Tortoise" for a fascinating single-variety comparison tasting with friends.
With seafood and light dishes: The wine's floral intensity and acidity pair beautifully with grilled octopus, sea bass, or creamy feta dips — or enjoy it alongside the bold reds of the Alpha Estate range such as the Alpha Estate Xinomavro Single Vineyard "Hedgehog" for a complete Greek wine dinner experience.
Paired with aromatic cuisine: Its spice notes make it a natural partner for Thai, Middle Eastern, or Greek mezze spreads. Consider rounding out your table with the elegant Alpha Estate Sauvignon Blanc or the rich Alpha Estate Chardonnay for a memorable white wine flight.

Malagouzia Poached Salmon with Lemon Herb Sauce: Gently poach two salmon fillets in a shallow pan with half a glass of the Alpha Estate Malagouzia, a splash of water, a bay leaf, and a few peppercorns for 8–10 minutes until just cooked through. Meanwhile, whisk together 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, fresh dill, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of sea salt for a cooling herb sauce. Serve the salmon over steamed bulgur, drizzle with the sauce, and pour yourself a chilled glass of the Alpha Estate Sauvignon Blanc Fumé alongside — an effortlessly elegant weeknight dinner straight from the Greek spirit.

FAQ

What is Malagouzia wine?

Malagouzia is an ancient Greek white grape variety that was nearly lost before being rescued and replanted in the 1980s and 1990s. It produces aromatic, medium-bodied white wines with distinctive notes of jasmine, white peach, citrus, and gentle spice. Today it is considered one of Greece's most exciting indigenous varieties and is beloved by wine enthusiasts for its expressive floral character.

How should I serve and pair Alpha Estate Malagouzia?

Serve the Malagouzia well chilled, around 8–10°C, to best appreciate its delicate aromas. It pairs wonderfully with seafood, grilled fish, light pasta dishes, soft cheeses, and Greek mezze. Its floral and citrus notes also complement Asian-inspired cuisine with lemongrass or ginger. Once opened, enjoy within one to two days for the freshest aromatic experience.
