I launched my own wine label in 2000 in memory of Alexia, my maternal grandmother. I always remember her as very stylish and these wines have been made to capture her spirit – gracious and full of vitality, with a dash of indulgence. My lasting memories are of her beautiful clothes and accessories – hats, gloves, shoes, scarves. The Alexia label is a tribute to her and my lovely mother, who inherited a similar zest for life.
It is important to me that Alexia wines reflect the qualities of the vineyards where the grapes are grown and I like to allow the purity of fruit flavours to shine through. Other prime considerations are palate length and texture and, to this end, I practise minimal intervention in the winery.
