Why do we love it?

Alpha Estate Red S.M.X. is one of the winery's most iconic labels and a longtime favorite among wine lovers. With its lavish aromatic bouquet, silky tannins, and persistent finish, it earns a spot in every well-curated cellar and continues to rack up acclaim.

Alpha Estate was founded in 1997 in Amyndeon, Florina, by two visionaries: viticulturist Makis Mavridis and chemist-oenologist Angelos Iatridis. Today, it stands as one of Europe’s most modern and pioneering wineries, using state-of-the-art viticulture and gravity-flow winemaking to preserve the fruit's pure quality and showcase the distinct Amyndeon terroir.

Alpha Estate Red S.M.X. brings together Syrah (60%), Merlot (20%), and Xinomavro (20%) sourced from single-block estate vineyards at 620–710 meters elevation. Aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels followed by 12 months in the bottle, it delivers exceptional complexity ready to enjoy now or lay down for years of cellar aging.

Beef stew with smoked eggplant cream

For the stew
700g beef for stew
2 onions
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
400 g concasse tomatoes
1 teaspoon of sugar
500 ml beef stock
1 cinnamon stick
4 berries of allspice
½ teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon of fresh thyme
40 ml of extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
Salt

For smoked eggplant cream
3 eggplants (400 g eggplant puree)
30 g flour
50 g butter
350 ml. lukewarm milk
Nutmeg
Salt

For the smoked eggplant cream:

Pierce the eggplants with a fork and char them on an open fire or on the grill until soft. When ready, put them in a strainer and leave them until you prepare the bechamel.

In a heated saucepan, add the butter and once melted, add the flour by stirring constantly, until it gets a light brown color. Then add the milk and reduce the heat, while stirring until it thickens. At the same time, peel the eggplants, mush them with a fork and add them into the bechamel. Finally, add pepper, nutmeg and salt. Stir for about 2 minutes and remove from heat.

For the stew:

Chop the onions and garlic. In a large, deep frying pan, sautée the meat in olive oil, a few pieces at a time, to keep the oil temperature high. Once it is evenly browned add the onions and garlic.

Add the spices, tomato paste, sugar, salt, pepper and finally the tomatoes. Simmer for about 1 hour or until the meat has softened and the sauce has thickened.

Serve by placing the eggplant cream topped with the beef stew and the luscious sauce.

Recipe Notes:

- Beware, do not burn eggplants because they will acquire a strong, heavy taste
- We can use cream instead of milk for a richer taste
- Adjust the spices and their quantities according to your preference
