The 2019 growing season was long and warm, allowing for gradual ripening of our estate vineyards. Leading up to harvest, our Bordeaux varietals matured steadily, which allowed for perfect harvest conditions.
Stylistically familial to our blending methods, a dominant 51% Merlot gives the 2019 Aleksander great structure and mouthfeel. The palate is coated with silky tannins and bright fruit character contributed by a generous 15% Malbec and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon. An addition of 13% Petit Verdot and 7% Cabernet Franc adds complexity and a balanced finish to this Aleksander blend.
A classic Aleksander elevage method for this 2019 Aleksander finished at 36 months in French & Serbian oak barrels.
