History

In the 18th century the noble family of Sayn Wittgenstein cultivated huge vineyards in Moldova, at the center of one of the world's oldest and most traditional winemaking regions. Alpamanta's CEO Andrej Razumovsky and his partner and cousin Andre Hoffmann, are direct descendants of that family. One of the more notable vintages of Côte de Provence comes from the Château de la Croix Bontar, owned for many generations by the family of Jérémie Delecourt, partner of Alpamanta.

Plum color, outstanding red fruit notes, spicy with balsamic traces. Its good personality opens in the palate revealing a good body and structure of mature tannins.

Alpamanta Estate Malbec 2009 & Merlot 2010 Tasting Notes

Bright medium ruby, dark fruits, smoked meat, nutty oak, coffee and a whiff of truffle on the slightly porty nose.  Fat and sweet, with flavors of coffee, truffle and game lifted by sound acidity. Not exactly a subtle style but not cooked. The sweet, pliant fruit lingers nicely on the back end, where the tannins are supple and ripe.

Alpamanta Reserva Malbec 2007 Tasting Notes

Deep red with plum tinges, pervasive black fruit, plums and fine cedar wood aromas, complex with character, medium bodied in the mouth, round, rich texture, balanced and elegant.
