Alibernet Strana 1 z 1

Alibernet is a distinctive red wine variety created by crossing Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a dark, intense and characterful grape that has become well established in Slovakia and Moravia, producing full-bodied, extractive wines with firm structure. Alibernet is appreciated for its depth, complexity and excellent ageing potential.

Grape Characteristics and Flavour of Alibernet

Alibernet grapes have dark blue to almost black berries with naturally high levels of pigments and tannins. Wines from this variety are typically intense, full and robust. The flavour profile includes notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, sour cherry and subtle hints of dark chocolate, tobacco or coffee. While young, Alibernet can taste firm and concentrated; with ageing it becomes smoother, more elegant and aromatically complex.

How to Serve Alibernet

Alibernet pairs beautifully with beef, game meats, grilled dishes and meals with rich sauces. It also complements strong cheeses and dark chocolate. Serve at 16–18 °C to highlight its structure, depth and full flavour.
