Goran, wife Ksenija and three children, Sasha, Aljosa and Nina, created Aleksander wines as a family estate, for now and for the future generations to come.

Jeremy Weintraub East Coast | A home grown New Yorker who donned his corporate tie for a cowboy hat in Paso. Intellectual | Not many people after a successful stint in politics would go back to college at 30 to retrain in Chemistry. In order to further his appreciation of winemaking Jeremy then worked in vineyards all around the world from New Zealand to Italy. Renaissance | From being in a band, fixing vintage motor bikes, working in political think tanks, cooking up a storm in the kitchen and being a multitasking Paso winemaker for Adelaida and Site - is there any more skills this guy needs to add to his bow?!

Vailia From Nomad | Vailia has travelled and lived all over the States, Canada and Central America. What drew her to Paso was its Wild West frontier and ‘no rules’ allure. Feminist | From her striking wine labels which incorporate the female form - to her women only run winery - Vailia is a firm believer in empowering and supporting fellow ambitious and brave women in the industry. Experimenter | Not many winemakers work with 17 different grape varietals and with a variety of different vessels from oak to clay amphorae.

Anthony Yount FARMER | From his farm boy roots in Missouri, he now lives the farm lifestyle; working with grapes and living off the animals he owns and produce he grows. PRODIGY | At only 24 years old he was the winemaker of a multimillion dollar business and 6 years later he was defined by Wine Spectator as the epicentre of the West Paso wine scene. TENACIOUS | Not only did he survive a life threatening accident; he viewed it as an opportunity to pursue the vinous Paso path..
