Winero Alira

WineRo is the company the owns ALIRA wines. Alira is a boutique winery in the South-East of Romania. The area of the winery is called Aliman and it'sba countryside where the heat from Dobrogea meets the valley of the Old Danube forming the perfect alliance necessary for great viticulture. Winemaking has long being a huge tradition in this area. A revival took place a decade ago, when the famous French wine expert Marc Dworkin foresaw the strength and the complexity of wine produced from these local vines. Together with wine enthusiast and businessman, Dr. Karl Heinz Hauptmann, Dworkin decided to change the face of the Romanian wine and the arid lands at ALIMAN, by developing a viticulture-viniculture project here, as part of an international programme also involving Bulgaria and China. The purpose is to produce wine based on the bordelaise philosophy, while respecting the local specifics. The wine was named “ALIRA”, as a tribute given to the communities of Aliman and Rasova, near which the new vineyard was planted. This bond between the Romanian terroir and the inspiration of a great wine expert has revealed its potential from the moment the first wine was launched on the market – “ALIRA” Merlot 2009. A genuine “fist in the velvet glove” which describes about the transparent way in which it displays a fullness and density which is difficult to be found in other Romanian Merlots. The wines that have followed, either blends or varietals, met the expectations. Be it a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Fetească Neagră, a Rose, Tribun or a Cuvée Red Cliff, be they wines in the high-end range of the ALIRA Grand Vin, the wine tasters have experienced the passion, dedication, competence in the glass and, above all, a great wine.
