Produced in limited quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVožd is the flagship of Aleksandrović's red wines. The grapes come from vines over 20 years old at the Ježevac site, on south-west facing slopes at 360 m, with a yield of just one kilogram per vine. After hand harvesting and selection, the wine matures for two years in French barriques and another two years in large oak casks. It is bottled without filtration, fining or cold stabilisation. Vožd is the result of a research project with the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Belgrade, co-financed by the Innovation Fund of the Republic of Serbia: a Cabernet Sauvignon with increased levels of resveratrol and quercetin. Winemaker Vlada calls the 2022 «even better than the 2017 vintage».\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe previous vintage, 2017,\u003c\/strong\u003e ranks among the world's best Cabernet Sauvignons: Gold with 95 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2024 in London, named by Decanter one of the top 15 Cabernet Sauvignons in the world, plus 93 Falstaff points and «Red Wine of the Year 2024» from Vino\u0026Fino magazine.
