After a trip to Spain to meet with a winemaking colleague from his Zilzie days, Alex decided to branch out on his own and in 2014 Alex launched his first label ‘Alejandro.’ Alex’s time abroad inspired him to explore the potential of locally grown alternative grape varieties that respond exceedingly well to the South Australian climate with all the character and complexity of their Spanish counterparts.

Alex's wife Lara Suitor grew up in Northern Tasmania. Lara Studied a Bachelor of Science at the University of Tasmania and worked as a scientist for a number of years while enjoying the spoils of Alex's winemaking, and trips to Europe with Alex to develop their brand. Lara is a wine lover and enthusiast and together with Alex on his wine journey they have built their own brand Russell and Suitor.

In 2016 Lara and Alex relocated to Lara’s hometown Launceston and Alex set his sights on the cooler climate wine making region of Pipers River. Under Russell & Suitor, Alex has been invigorated by the idyllic and pristine terroir of Tasmania, and the new wine making opportunities. New wine labels Cazadora - the huntress depicts Lara and their vineyard “hunting grounds" in Pipers River. The Son of a Bull label representing their first-born son Logan. While the Baila con Toro label of premium vintage, method traditional Sparkling Wines, is their daughter Audrey's label who "dances with the bull".

Russell & Suitor have created premium Tasmanian wines from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Gewürztraminer to name a few. Under Russell & Suitor, Alex and Lara will continue the tireless pursuit to create the best value and highest quality Tasmanian wines possible.
