Its vineyards are located in the Dealu Mare (Big Hill) region, on the 45th parallel, similar to the Bordeaux region. In 2021 Hyperion Fetească Neagră 2016, a premium highly appreciated wine within the Alexandrion Rhein 1892 Domains portfolio was awarded the Double Gold medal in the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles. Fetească Neagră is considered to be one of the best Romanian red wines, exhibiting spicy, smoky fruit flavours and good tannin structure.

This is a unique collaboration that will be further enhanced in the coming years.
