Piedmont, ITALY

Dedicated to Bruno Rivetti, an immediate ancestor of the family, Cà di Bruno wines come from the Barbaresco and Barolo regions of Piedmont, Italy. The Rivetti family grows Barbera, Nebbiolo, Moscato and other indigenous varieties over 25 hectares on all certified organic vineyards. The annual production is about 100,000 bottles, mainly divided between Barbaresco and Barbera d’Alba. The plots are grouped around three farmhouses: Froi, Garassino and Palazzina. The winery located on the Serraboella hill, one of the most important areas for the production of Barbaresco. Since 2009 no pesticides or herbicides have been used, only the use of natural fertilizers, such as mixing organic cow manure with secondary products leftover from fermentation. The manual collection of worms in spring that feed on the buds, compromising production is also another hands on approach to sustainability in the vineyard. Ca di Bruno take pride in vine health and vine management, vine age varies from 35 to 75 years old with each vintage having limits on yields per hectare to maximize the grape quality, the terroir and production areas.

Central Otago, NZ

Chard Farm operates five vineyards in the Gibbston Valley and Lowburn/Parkburn subregions of Central Otago. Each of the vineyards is unique and provides distinctive and premium fruit.

Central Otago is the only grape growing region in New Zealand with a truly mild continental type climate, with a large diurnal temperature range, which is known to be beneficial for colour development and stability in Pinot Noir. Also the resulting low relative humidity and rainfall results in low fungal disease incidence and therefore minimal spraying - no problems with harvest pressure due to botrytis incidence.

The region is being touted as having the greatest potential of all the new world producing areas for the production of premium Pinot Noir. The whites are also now starting to show huge interest.

McLaren Vale, SA

Celebrating their centenary in 2012, d'Arenberg is one of the most significant wineries in McLaren Vale. In 1912 Joseph Osborn, a teetotaler and director of Thomas Hardy and Sons, purchased the well established Milton Vineyards in the hills just north of the townships of Gloucester and Bellevue, now just known as McLaren Vale.

In 1943 Frank's son Francis d'Arenberg, universally known as "d'Arry", returned from school, age 16, to help his ill father run the business, eventually assuming full management of d'Arenberg in 1957. d'Arry bottled the first of the famous diagonal red stripe labelled wines two years later.

d'Arenberg's wines of the 1960's gained immediate cult status amongst imbibers and judges. One Cabernet Sauvignon won a Jimmy Watson Trophy at the 1969 Royal Melbourne Wine Show and another Grenache - based wine was awarded 7 trophies and 29 gold medals from Australian capital city wine shows. It is understandable that by the 1970's d'Arenberg Wines had become very fashionable and had gained significant national and international profiles in less than 20 years.

Enter the fourth generation, d'Arry's son Chester d'Arenberg Osborn. After graduating from Roseworthy College and touring other Australian and European wine regions, Chester took over the reins as Chief Winemaker in 1984. He immediately set about rejuvenating the old cellars and l9th century vineyards. He invested in new oak, refrigeration and lots of small stainless steel tanks which resulted in immediate white dividends with his Dry Dam Riesling, the Broken Fishplate Sauvignon Blanc, Olive Grove Chardonnay and botrytis affected Noble Riesling all winning gold medals and trophies at wine shows.

100 years on, it is not surprising that with the "Red Stripe" in their blood, d'Arry and Chester's viticultural and oenological talents have ensured d'Arenberg has continued to win critical acclaim, numerous trophies and national and international awards, none more so than in recent years. d'Arenberg is continuing to produce wines that are a credit to both the winery and the region.

Pipers River, TAS

Delamere Vineyards is one of Tasmania's longest running family owned and operated wine estates, focused on producing distinguished sparkling (Methode Traditionelle) and still wines from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties. Nestled amongst the cool maritime slopes of Pipers River, in northeastern Tasmania, the vineyard was first established in1982 placing it amongst the oldest vineyards in the region. With 6.5ha of grapes now established on the property, the age of the vineyard makes it a rare resource in Tasmania, and valuable due to the significant increase in wine quality associated with mature vines. The winery is owned and run by husband and wife vigneron's Shane Holloway and Fran Austin.

Our passion for the region of Tasmania, at similar latitude to the Champagne and Burgundy regions in France, arises from a desire to seek out a genuine cold climate that can produce wines of classic structure, combining fruit intensity with refinement, complexity with persistence of flavour, and the ultimate expression and grape and region. The region of Pipers Brook in the north east of Tasmania enjoys a significant climatic advantage that is unique in Australia, that of a very low variability of maximum temperature. This stability is born from a unique set of geographical features, the hot northerly winds are cooled by the waters of Bass Strait, while the cool southerlies gain heat as they cross the island. This, combined with cool, relative temperatures and significant sunshine hours make for ideal conditions to retain delicate aromas. The frosty and sometimes wild conditions of winter give way to clear, crisp, blue sky days through the growing season, allowing the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly, assuring a lingering acidity essential to producing premium cool climate varietals.

The Burgundy based De Perriere is owned by Boisset, a family company ranked amongst the largest five wine producers in France. The flagship Cremant de Bourgogne is remarkably similar to Champagne in both its production process and varietal make-up. The 36 month ageing on lees, well beyond the legal minimum requirement, adds further complexity and makes this a wonderfully affordable Champagne alternative. The elegant salmon-pink Dry Rose is also methode traditionale, whilst the Blanc de Blancs Brut is an excellent entry-level French sparkling.

Pale straw with a fresh green gold hue, this Sparkling Non Vintage Cuvée displays fresh vinous fruit characters on the nose with a light yeastiness. The palate is soft and fruity, leading to a crisp natural acid finish.

The fruit was harvested at its peak of freshness to give the wine bright and vibrant characters. To ensure a fine palate structure only free run juice is used and this is then cold fermented to preserve the natural fruit aroma and flavour. This wine has a lively effervescence and being produced in a drier style exhibits bright fruit and crisp acidity.

FRANCE

Edmond Théry was a French economist and sparkling wine lover. He decided to spend the majority of his time in wine production (Late 1800’s). To ensure the highest quality possible, the cellar has been dug ten meters underground and it became the reference in the region. After the death of Edmond Théry in 1937, his sons and grandsons initiated a toll manufacturing sparkling wines production. During the 80’s the company started to experiment emerging technologies of sparkling wines such as the Charmat Method.

Ponte di Piave, ITALY

This tingling fresh, sparkling prosecco is seductively delicious with its aromas of citrus fruit and exotic fruits. One sip and you’re sold. It consists of the glera grape. The bubbles are created during the so-called second fermentation. When the grapes are harvested, a normal, dry white wine is first made. Once it is ready, this still wine with sugar and yeast is put in a tank. The yeast gets to work with the sugar and together they form alcohol and carbon dioxide. Because this process takes place in a closed vessel, the carbon dioxide cannot escape and you get a wine with bubbles.

Kara-Tara is a joint venture between Rudger van Wyk (Diners Club Young Winemaker of the Year 2018) and José Condé (owner of Stark-Conde Wines). The name Kara-Tara refers to a small town outside Knysna where Rudger lived. Translated from the Khoisan language, it means “deep dark shadows” and refers to the Karatara river that runs through the town. Having worked at Kanonkop and Nitida wineries, Rudger was granted an opportunity to work vintage in Burgundy, which was a game changer for the young man, and the inspiration for the outstanding Chardonnay and Pinot Noirs that Kara-Tara has produced from the cool-climate vineyards in the Western Cape.

in honour of. Louis XIV demanded Fondillon be served on all of his cakes and it was famed across aristocracy

throughout Europe. Sadly, there are only ten wineries left authorised to make and bottle wine classified as Fondillon today, controlled closely by Vinos Alicante Denominacion de Origen. The ‘Luis XIV’ Fondillón Vermut are the product of an exciting partnership created by David Carbonell founder of Vins del Comtat and the current descendants of two, old winemaking families: Ferrero Valdés and Ballester, located in Cañana, in the Alto Vinalopó region of Alicante. The Colección de Toneles Centenarios (CTC) is a unique and fascinating story originating from a surprise discovery of an extraordinary treasure: “a Fondillón barrel room, asleep for 60 years” which contained 25 barrels of Fondillón dating from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

A barrel-maker born in Chateauneuf-du-Pape will eventually think of filling his barrels. It came to no surprise when the Bouachon family, barrel-makers who had already been selecting grapes to produce wine for others, decided to fill their own barrels in 1898. Maison Bouachon developed its passion for terroir while seeking the utmost in quality. Close relations were established with growers from one generation to the next. Combining resources and know-how through solid partnerships made it possible to get the most out of vines and terroirs. Exceptional parcels were carefully selected.

Maison Brotte was created in Chateauneuf-du-Pape in 1931 by Charles Brotte. Today, three generations of the Brotte family still work the business as the company goes from strength to strength. The Legend of the Fiole dates back to 1952 during a meeting between Brotte and a renowned glass artist from the region. Together they came up with a bottle with a twisted shape, reminiscent of old Grenache vines bent by the Mistral (wind). Much more than a simple bottle, it became the ideal container for a great Châteauneuf du Pape wine. As a nod to his wife, Charles, then a young wine negociant, named this bottle after his father-in-law, Le Pere Anselme, a beloved and benevolent figure in the village. With its particular shape, La Fiole has become an icon now found in more than 120 countries around the world. The flagship, La Fiole du Pape, has been a unique and timeless blend of Grenache and Syrah since 1952.

Beaujolais-Villages AOC, the intermediate category in terms of classification, covers 39 villages in the Haut Beaujolais, the northern part of the region accounting for a quarter of production. It is a wine made from the red Gamay grape, and vinified by carbonic maceration, a winemaking technique in which whole grapes are fermented in a carbon dioxide rich environment prior to crushing. Benoit Thorin founded the Maison Thorin in 1843, the 40 year old vineyard is situated between Château de Montmelas and the river Rivolet, and is today owned and tended to by the Boisset family.

MAN Family Wines was so named at its inception in 2001, after the first initial’s of the wives of the 3 founder/winemakers, Marie, Anette and Nicky. It is now a collaboration with their grape growers, who are shareholders in the company. But the fundamentals have not changed; of making wines that are sustainably grown, true to varietal, well-balanced and of consistently high quality - wines they’d love to drink. The vineyards are predominantly dry-farmed (planted without irrigation) in decomposed granite soils which tends to yield grapes with an intensity of flavour.

Biodynamics and organic vineyard management are practiced with all Marchand & Burch wines. Please note that all Marchand & Burch wines are very limited, in some cases only one barrel.

When two men met in a small village in France in the Burgundy wine region, they were instantly connected through their passion for pinot noir. This friendship bloomed into a partnership formed with the vision of creating hand-crafted wines from carefully selected fruit parcels from specific vineyard sites in both Margaret River and Great Southern wine regions of Western Australia and Burgundy's Cote d'Or in France, including wines from several Grand Cru Appellations. We invite you to enjoy the pursuit of these two friends Burgundian winemaker and biodynamic ambassador Pascal Marchand ex-régisseur from Domaine Comte Armand and Domaine De La Vougeraie, and Jeff Burch, West Australian vigneron and owner of Burch Family Wines. With a commitment to the rhythm of nature and traditional winemaking practices they aim to work with the natural environment to craft wines that best express the soil from which the grapes have come.

McLaren Vale, SA

Since 1979, family owned Maxwell Wines, with its forty acre estate vineyard, has built a reputation for producing hand made, rich and robust reds that combine exquisite fruit quality with structure and finesse. The signature Lime Cave Cabernet and Ellen Street Shiraz are acclaimed for their cellaring potential and purity of expression. The white wines achieve freshness and superb varietal character via slow, cool ferments that capture the delicacies of the grapes.

Their estate vineyards are some of the most favourably positioned in the McLaren Vale district. Situated on solid limestone, in proximity to the moderating effects of the Gulf of St Vincent, the conditions in the vineyards are ideal for producing small quantities of intensely flavoured grapes.

The oldest vines on the property were planted in 1953, directly below where the Winery now stands. Known within the Winery as the "Max Flat Block", these Shiraz vines always produce some of the best fruit on the estate, providing the base for the Ellen Street Shiraz. This block consists of alluvial red-brown clay over limestone, and is typically one of the earliest ripening Shiraz blocks in the region.

Sicily, ITALY

Palazzo del Mare is a great introduction to indigenous Sicilian varietals. Sicily’s geography and climate are perfectly suited for the production of healthy, ripe grapes and quality wines. Palazzo del Mare’s vineyards are situated at 200-300m which brings cooler night time temperatures that helps maintain the grapes acidity producing fresh, juicy wines.

Colchagua & Curico Valleys, CHILE

Panul means ‘hug’ in the language of the ancient indigenous inhabitants. Just as its name suggests, Panul wines are from select vineyard sites which hug the land from which they come from. The Colchagüa Valley is located on the southern slope of the Rapel Valley and has evolved in the last fifteen years from a quiet stretch of farmland to one of the largest and most active wine regions in the country. The relatively low elevation of the coastal hills allows the Pacific breeze to interact with the Andean winds, cooling the valley and prolonging the maturation period of the region which benefits the wine. The vast majority of the wine produced here is red, with a particular propensity for fine Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère, although recent plantations in the Curico valley near the coast have also proven excellent for cold climate white wines such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Panul vineyards are located on a row of hills where there are more than 110 hectares of organic grapes.

He became head winemaker at Parducci in 1940 and was inducted into The Culinary Institute of America (C.I.A.) Vintner’s Hall of Fame in 2012. The winery is noted for being carbon-neutral, reusing and recycling as much as possible. The entrance to the property is graced by a home farm… home to beds of veggies, fruit trees, chickens, sheep, and pigs! Take the time to tour the wetlands and see the amazing gigantic redwood wine barrels.”

Mornington Peninsula, VIC

Founder and owner, Lindsay McCall, established the vineyard in 1985. He is lauded as one of the region’s handful of pioneers. He bought an old north-facing orchard and planted The Paringa vineyard. At an elevation of 140 meters it curls around the landscape like a vinous amphitheatre, sheltered from the harsh southwesterly winds. The deep, rich volcanic soils give power, flavour and structure to the wines. The vines are reaching their peak of maturity too, and this is a crucial factor in producing wine of the highest quality. In 2007, Paringa Estate was awarded the “Best Winery in Australia,” in the ‘James Halliday Wine Companion’ an astonishing achievement for someone with no formal training in viticulture or wine making. In 2017, second generation winemaker Jamie McCall stepped in as Head Winemaker.

Puppet Master - a West Australian wine collection inspired by ancient fairy tales, dystopian novels, cinema noir and vintage sci-fi. It is the brainchild of Jeff Burch and his daughter Natalie, created while musing over 1930s cinema noir, mind-bending novels like George Orwell’s 1984 and the vintage film Metropolis. To make wine is to assert a desired outcome, a kind of mind control, over the drinker. The Puppet Master wines, like the art on their labels, are a collection of oddities. The vignerons from Howard Park have gone rogue on this project, creating a series of wines to surprise and delight.

Central Otago, NZ

Land that was once a high country sheep station is now a flourishing vineyard. Sheep and rabbits co-existed on the land for quite some time but the sheep couldn’t keep up with the nocturnal activity of the rabbits, and in the end were driven off the land. The original owner of the Rabbit Ranch; Mr McGregor tried a number of measures to rid the land of the rabbits at the turn of the century, but was unsuccessful. In the end he decided to plant some vines and make wine. The vineyard fell into decline after the second world war until direct descendants of Mr McGregor, Warren and Betty McGregor decided to replant the vineyard and as they say, the rest is history. Rabbits still run wild on the vineyard and fuelled by high altitude Pinot grapes, some are reputed to be the size of ponies – but that could be another tall story...

Margaret River, WA

The Rosily Vineyard was formed in 1994, when owners Mike and Barbara Scott and Ken and Dot Allan purchased a 60 acre cow paddock in the heart of the Margaret River wine region and set about fulfilling their dreams of producing world class wines. Cuttings were taken from vines growing just a few kilometres away at the acclaimed Moss Wood Vineyard and were planted in 1994 through to 1997.

From day one their philosophy has been quality at any cost, so for the first five years the focus was entirely on establishing the young vines to the point where they could last the long dry summers with minimal or no irrigation. During this time all fruit from the young vines was sold to the nearby Hay Shed Hill winery.

Shortly before the 2000 vintage it was realised that their fruit had reached a quality level deserving of its own wine - so a winery was built on the property and in their first small step into the world of wine marketing, they found themselves... a French navigator ...

Comte Francois de Rosily was a French navigator who in 1772 made the first chart of Flinders Bay in the south west of Western Australia. On the same voyage that captain of his ship claimed possession of the south west of Australia on behalf of France. Had that claim succeeded we would now be speaking French, not English and our national drink would have been wine, not beer.

Beechworth, VIC

In 2016, Raquel and Hugh Jones discovered a vineyard 10min out of Beechworth in north-east Victoria, neighbouring the likes of Giaconda and Castagna. It had immaculate 20 year old shiraz vines, planted in 1998, with fruit being sold to Yalumba (for a single-vineyard shiraz) as well as to smaller high-end producers. Retaining some of the shiraz, they have since added chardonnay as well as tempranillo, albariño, grenache and monastrell - a nod to Raquel’s Spanish heritage. All fruit is estate grown by Raquel using both biological and organic practices and entirely hand-harvested. Raquel makes her wines on-site, within 200m of the vineyard, using traditional, low-intervention winemaking, including the use of amphorae; allowing the fruit to speak for itself.

Clare Valley, SA

In 1973, Dr. John Wilson set out with soil map and sampling auger in search of a plot for his vines. The chosen land was some of the grazing slopes east of Sevenhill, Clare Valley, where he established 10 acres of vineyard between 1974 and 1976. The locals were bemused by this venture and were firm but kind with their advice about the unsuitability of the area for grapes. To that same handful of locals the little valley was known as Polish Hill River, a quaint tribute to its early pioneers.

In 1980 the vineyard produced its first commercial wine and with that Shiraz-Cabernet, wine consumers were introduced to this hitherto unknown corner of Clare. By then no-one had any doubts about the ability of Polish Hill River to produce fine wine. The Wilson family has been content to expand its operation slowly and steadily and is unfazed that most who followed them now cultivate larger tracts.

In 2000 John was one of the handful of Clare winemakers who led the screwcap revolution. Whilst many were hedging their bets John decided to dedicate his entire production, reds and whites, to the screwcap closure in 2001 and never looked back.

The Wilson Vineyard wines are produced entirely from estate-grown fruit. More than half of the production is Riesling, a variety with which both the Wilson name and Polish Hill River have become synonymous. Other varieties include Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Gewurztraminer, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The Wilson Vineyard Rieslings are powerful wines that take more than five years in the bottle to show their best.

Every year since 1988 The Wilson Vineyard has commissioned a local artist to produce a piece to adorn the Polish Hill River Riesling label. The exterior artwork compliments the art within.

Yealands Estate is based in the Awatere Valley to the south east of Marlborough's Wairau Plains. Their vineyard stretches from the foothills of the Seaward Kaikoura ranges to the bluffs overlooking Cook Strait on the east coast of Marlborough.

Back when Marlborough's wine industry started to gather momentum in the Awatere everyone thought the steep contours of these foothills were too challenging for viticulture. Everyone that is except Peter Yealand. He recognised that with careful development and clever thinking this terroir would produce great wine. In 2002 he began consolidating his vineyards here, extending his existing interests on the Wairau Plains with the development of some 950 hectares of rolling Awatere country which he terraced into vineyard blocks to create New Zealand's single largest privately-owned vineyard.
