Aleksandar Aleksiev

Chief Winemaker and Chief Executive Officer

Aleksander Aleksiev has been interested in winemaking since his adolescence. Years later he graduated from Wine Technology at the University of Food Technology in Plovdiv. His first appointment as a winemaker was in Oryahovitsa winery. He had worked in Australia, New Zealand and Argentina as a part of the team at Two Hands, Villa Maria, Henschke, Monteviejo, Whitehaven. Alexander Aleksiev, as well as Nikolay Katerov and Nikolay Dimitrov created and executed the project Midalidare. In 2013 he became Managing Director of the company. However, he continued his work as an oenologist with even greater passion and desire, while constantly improving his skills. He respects each variety but is most satisfied white working with Sauvignon Blank and Syrah.

Midalidare Winemaker's Choice Syrah

The intense and characteristic varietal aroma of ripe red and black fruits and pepper is complemented by hints of smoke and violets. Juicy and rounded in the mouth, spicy, with excellent balance, dense body and soft tannins.

Midalidare New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Rich with lime zest, blackcurrant and seabreeze aromas. The citrus and passion fruit flavors are balanced by a salty freshness providing textural crunch and a deliciously long finish.

Midalidare Reserve Brut NV

The mousse is rich, ample, and prolonged. An intensive fruity nose of ripe apple, pear, and meadow is followed by nicely balanced and fresh palate.
