Alienor is the brainchild of Denis Malbec, former winemaker at Chteau Latour & his wife May-Britt, a winemaker & former sommelier. It is named in honour of Aliènor d Aquitaine, who is considered to have been responsible for the proliferation of Bordeaux wines in the 12th century. Fittingly, this wine is a blend of Merlot & Cabernet Franc, & is an interpretation of the St Emilion style, hailing from the northern Napa Valley.
