BELOW: A starry sky above our barrel-aging facility. Photographs by Alex Cvetkov Two Aleksander Bordeaux-style blends are produced each year: a white label and a black label Reserve. The white label wines amount to nearly 80 percent of the annual production, while the more limited production Reserve makes up the remaining 20 percent. The two labels differ in varietal composition, special barrel selection, and aging period. With varying additions of Bordeaux varietals, the Merlot- based wines may have Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. While forming the blend each year, both yield and grape quality are taken into account. This ensures they reach their goal of crafting an elegant Old World wine with the beauty and intricacy of today. What is the best way to experience Aleksander wine? Join the Aleksander family. The Wine Club consists of two annual shipments of two bottles each, with a discount, plus priority access to the newest releases. Customized orders are also available.
