Domeniile
Alexandrion 1892
In Dealu Mare, across hectares spanning along the 45th parallel north, the terroir composes. Much like in Bordeaux and Tuscany, the gentle hills, ideal exposure, limestone soils, and balanced climate bring exceptional Romanian wines to life.
Some are delicate, subtle, enigmatic. Others are intense, vibrant, unapologetic. Still, others are easygoing, nonchalant, yet provocative.
Toate vorbesc cu intenție, structură și profunzime de caracter.
All speak with intent, structure, and depth of character. All command attention through refinement, distinction, and stature. They tell their story with ardor and conviction. They are savored with fervor and fascination. And they are here to leave an indelible mark.
Rhein & CIE Azuga 1892 CELLARS
Unlike the great Champagne houses of Europe, which traditionally built their cellars underground, the Rhein & CIE Azuga 1892 cellars were built above ground. Thick, double-layered walls and the cool mountain climate naturally created the perfect microclimate for bottle fermentation — the traditional method of crafting Romania’s very first sparkling wine – Rhein Extra, the official supplier of the Royal House of Romania since 1904.
Every bottle of Rhein Extra is perfected here through natural fermentation inside the bottle for a minimum of 12 months, in strict adherence to the traditional method. Not out of constraint, but out of unwavering conviction. Not out of rigidity, but out of an unshakable principle. Out of respect for nobility. For the finesse of detail. For the refinement of the result.
For visitors, the Rhein & CIE Azuga 1892 Cellars are a lesson of tradition, excellence, and vision, just as their founder, Wilhelm Rhein, intended in 1892.
For every bottle of Rhein Extra, they have been – for over a century now – the path to perfection.
