Alexander vs The Ham Factory DOP - Casa Rojo

The Casa Rojo Alexander vs The Ham Factory is a first-class red wine in a glass. It presents a wonderfully dense, ruby red color. If you hold the glass at a slight angle, you can see a transition in color towards garnet red at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. When the glass is swirled, this red wine reveals a high density and fullness, which can be seen in clear stained glass windows at the edge of the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from the Old World offers wonderfully expressive aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, mulberry and blueberry, rounded off by black tea, forest floor and dark chocolate, which are contributed by the barrel ageing.

On the palate, the Alexander vs The Ham Factory from Casa Rojo opens wonderfully dry, grippy and aromatic. Some wines are dry, others are bone dry. This red wine belongs to the latter, as it was bottled with just 1.5 g of residual sugar. The texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully powerful on the palate. Thanks to the balanced fruit acidity, Alexander vs The Ham Factory flatters the palate with a velvety feel without lacking freshness. The finish of this well-maturing red wine from the Castile - León wine-growing region, or more precisely from Ribera del Duero DOP, finally impresses with a beautiful aftertaste.

Vinification of the Alexander vs The Ham Factory from Casa Rojo

Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Tempranillo grapes form the basis for the first-class and wonderfully powerful Alexander vs The Ham Factory cuvée from Casa Rojo. Of course, the Alexander vs The Ham Factory is also defined by more than just the Ribera del Duero DOP soil. This Spanish wine can be described as an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, and is extraordinarily impressive. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. At the end of this process, Alexander The Great is matured for several months in French and American oak barrels.
