Alejandro and Eva Fernandez launched ALEVA, a project that not only continues Alejandro’s winemaking legacy but also represents the shared dream of a father and daughter who were united by their love for the craft. The name ALEVA is a combination of their two names, Alejandro and Eva, symbolizing the profound personal and professional bond between them. The logo, which features their two profiles, further emphasizes this union. ALEVA represents the continuation of Alejandro’s vision, and Eva’s dedication ensures that his values and winemaking philosophy are honored with each bottle produced.
Wine Notes: An intense, bright burdgundy color. The complex bouquet balances fruity, spicy and mineral notes. Subtle hints of vanilla and spice complement primary aromas of red and black fruits. The palate is structured and voluminous with silky tannins and a smooth texture. A long, lingering finish showcases the fruit and finesse of careful aging.
