Alexandra Estate Wines to love
The beginning It all started in 2012 with the purchase of 200 acres of premium vineyards in the region Sakar, proven to be one of the most famous wine regions in Bulgaria. Alexandra Estate s vineyards in Oreshets, Harmanli were in the first fruiting year when they attracted the attention of the experts. Their proximity to the 100 years old oak forest and the location in the foothills of the Eastern Rhodopes contribute more for their selection.
Our credo What distinguishes Alexandra Estate in the cultivation of vines are the principles of organic and biodynamic farming.
Grape varieties The exposure of the vineyards is north. This allows the grapes to retain good acids even in this region with normally hot climate. Varieties included in the estate s wines are: Syrah, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Chardonnay, Marsanne, Roussanne, Semillon and Viognier.
Expansion In 2013, Alexandra Estate is expanding with another 100 acres of vineyards in the village Rakitnitsa, Stara Zagora Located 300 meters above sea level and their carbonate soils contribute to the excellent quality of grapes planted on them. Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Semillon will produce its first fruit in 2016.
What we produce In 2014 Alexandra Estate produced a total of 30,000 bottles of wine: white, rosé and red. Soon the construction of a winery in the village Rakitnitsa will begin and it will produce up to 60,000 bottles. The second winery of Alexandra Estate with larger production capability, located in Oreshets village is at a design stage.
Vinification French oak barrels with a capacity of 225 l and 300 l are used for the vinification. All wines, except Alexandra Sauvignion Blanc 2013, are fermented and matured in barrels, and even the Rosé is partially fermented in French oak.
Our people Proven professionals work for Alexandra Estate: the cultivation of the vines is entrusted to Atanas Shiderov and Eric Moro. Alexander Velyanov and Thierry Haberer take care for the wine making and the creation of blends.
