Being a wine enthusiast, businessman Dr. Karl Hauptmann desired a vineyard of quality in the country he had already fallen in love with, Romania. The discovery of this paradise was a wonderful coincidence. After the first piece of land they investigated proved to have overly saline soil, he and his team passed through the Aliman area on their way back. It was then that Marc Dworkin, the French winemaker, spotted the sunny hills of Aliman. He stopped and quietly examined the place where, at the time, a cornfield stretched out. It is one of his talents, to feel the breath of the earth. That place became ALIRA. Detailed soil analyses, later sent to laboratories in France, confirmed Marc Dworkin's talent for vineyards and wines. He was right! Now, the paradise in Aliman is perfect: a boutique winery covering over 80 hectares, established in 2007.
The Alira brand has been carefully built over time through dedication and consistency. It is a marriage between the names of the localities Aliman and Rasova, the neighboring areas of Alira's vineyards.
Alira Logo
Our logo, the imposing centaur, draws inspiration from a fragment of bas-relief discovered on the lands of Aliman, which can now be visited at the Museum in Constanta. It is a Roman archaeological piece that refers to the legend of the war between the Lapiths and the Centaurs, a symbol of power that identifies with Alira wines, which contain a dimension of strength, force, even masculinity, represented by the fullness and richness of their taste.
A ruby and velvety Merlot that reveals fresh and intense aromas of red fruits.
A Cabernet Sauvignon crafted on the banks of the Danube, between Aliman and Rasova, following the Bordeaux philosophy.
Made from hand-selected grapes, it represents the tribute we pay to our national grape variety.
