Athlete | Athletes are known for their drive, strength and focus. Having a family of athletes behind a winery can only result in meticulous execution and a world class slam dunk wine.
Family | A family is what created this winery and that same family managed and oversaw the wine production. Goran, wife Ksenija and three children, Sasha, Aljosa and Nina, created Aleksander wines as a family estate, for now and for the future generations to come.
Risk | How many families do you know who have quit their livelihood and travelled the world in order to support each others athletic and vinous dreams?
