The Alpha One is Alpha Estate's masterpiece. Each vintage is unique and is selected by the winemaker from the 17 best barrels of the harvest. Thus, the composition of the grape varieties is also different every year.
The exclusive red wine matures for 36 months in new French barrique barrels, another 24 months in the bottle and has an ageing potential of up to 20 years. The Alpha One is characterised by a dark violet colour. Rich, with intense aromas of red fruits, cherries and slightly sweet, spicy oak. A complex bouquet with versatile scents and a taste balance on a high level. A particularly rich red wine with excellent structured tannins and an elegant finish.
