Dear Valued Customer,

As a vine ages the quality of its grapes gets better

every year. We like to think the same goes for our

wine list. This new edition brings you more choice than

ever before, over 100 new wines and an unparalleled

selection of the world’s most admired wineries, brands

and producers that MMI are proud to be associated

with. Alongside the great established names, we’ve

uncovered some interesting, lesser-known gems from

places as diverse as the Nandi Hills in India (Grover),

Kapadokia in Turkey (Kaya) and Montsant,

Spain (Finca Cuco).

In the past 2 years we’ve seen two major trends in the

region, the rise of sparkling wines and the fashionable

emergence of rosé wines as a key category. Prosecco

has driven the sparkling growth and has caught on in

a big way – it has now become a brand call name itself

– easy-drinking, light and invigorating, an everyday

luxury that won’t break the bank.

We have the world’s leading Prosecco in Zonin 1821

and as well as adding magnum size bottles to the

list we have introduced their new Prestige Cuvée

bottling and further magnums from Scavi & Ray.

Dubai favourite French sparklers also join our list with

Pol Remy and Veuve de Vernay, offering great value

alternatives to Champagne.

Our hot climate makes our region a perfect fit for cool

rosé wines and we are really starting to see a rising

appreciation of this style. Led by the pale salmon hues

of Provence rosé, to the charming Spanish and Italian

rosatos and the darker shades of the new world

fruit-bombs.

Whispering Angel from Chateau d’Esclans in Provence

continues to be the darling of the world’s best dining

establishments and this year we have not only added

the outstanding Château Minuty and Château les

Valentines to the Provenĉal line-up but we also launch

Miraval, owned by celebrity couple Brad Pitt and

Angelina Jolie, and crafted by our friends the Perrin

family, of the famed Château de Beaucastel in

the Rhône.

It’s our belief that Australia is now producing some of

its best wines ever. The vines planted in the growth

period of the ‘90s are now at their finest quality yet

and a new breed of can-do winemakers are bringing

a more funky approach to their premium wines –

allowing the fruit and terroir to speak more of place

than making the jammy, high alcohol wines that

Australia has perhaps been known for. Look out for

new names Jamsheed, William Downie, Chris Ringland

and Tolpuddle for shining examples of fruit finesse,

brilliant winemaking and something new and exciting.

The MMI Wine Team are constantly busy finding new

wines and styles for you - they assessed and tasted

over 2000 wines through our structured panel tastings

programme last year - watching the world and local

markets, identifying trends, sharing their passion and

knowledge and working hard to keep your prices fair.

We hope you enjoy the new list in this electronic

format and we look forward to introducing you

personally to our new selections and wineries.

Cheers,

“Our range covers over 100 properties with over 400 wines with a considerable back catalogue of wines dating to the mythical 1947 vintage of both Cheval Blanc and Petrus.

MMI Fine Wines

The MMI fine wine range has come a long way in

the past few years. With over 1,200 items on the list

covering the Mosel to Central Otago and spanning

a price range from AED 100 to 105,000 from over

180 producers we have a lot covered. Our ability to

convince top producers around the world to entrust

us with their wines would not be possible without the

increasing quality of food and beverage offering in

Dubai. For this we thank you.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is a big focus of our fine wine portfolio in

line with demand. It is the number one producing fine

wine region and accounts for around 40% of all fine

wines sold through the on-trade. The MMI range covers

more than 120 properties with over 700 wines with

a considerable back catalogue dating to the mythical

1947 vintage of both Cheval Blanc and Petrus.

Direct relationships are important for us. It not only

guarantees provenance of the wines but allows us

to obtain the best pricing for our customers. Our

relationships then allow us to grow our allocations,

over time, in conjunction with market growth.

New to the Burgundy range this year are two

outstanding producers; Arnoux-Lachaux of Vosne

Romanée and Francois Mikulski of Meursault who

join a plethora of highly regarded domaines that we

represent. We are also delighted to have taken on

substantial ranges from domaine/negociant producers

Olivier Leflaive and Louis Jadot.

New World

Our strength extends beyond Bordeaux and Burgundy

with a portfolio including some of the greatest New

World agencies also. California has been a focus for

us in the past year and we have secured allocations

of many of the rarest wines in the region including

Screaming Eagle, Colgin, Araujo, Hyde de Villaine of

Napa as well as the legendary Sine Qua Non.

Quality control

Our wines are transported with the utmost care. All

wines are trucked and shipped in climate controlled

conditions which are monitored and tracked along the

journey from estate to our warehouses and on to our

customers. Our warehousing climate is also carefully

controlled and tracked at both temperature and

humidity levels.

Allocated wines

We represent a host of fine and rare wines including

Domaine de la Romanée Conti, Armand Rousseau,

Didier Dagueneau and Chateau Grillet from France,

Vega Sicilia from Ribera del Duero in Spain, Sassicaia,

Tignanello and Solaia from Tuscany in Italy as well as

Screaming Eagle and Sine Qua Non from California

are just a few examples.

AS NATURE INTENDED...We’re often asked about our storage and shipping

of wines, to what is after all a desert country, as you

naturally want to be assured that you are getting the

wines in the condition the winemakers intended.

Wine is a precious and sensitive product. Our winery

partners work hard all year in the vineyards and

wineries around the world to make good wines

and that work can easily be spoilt by careless

transportation - saving on shipping costs doesn’t sit

well with us.

We’re happy to let you know that MMI ship all our

wines in refrigerated containers all year round and

insist that our freight partners sign up to such cool-

chain essentials. This is a considerable and significant

addition to normal freight costs but this commitment

to quality assurance combined with our own modern

temperature-controlled warehousing facilities gives

us the peace-of-mind that we’re meeting your

demands when it comes to wine quality.

ORGANIC

Organic wine is wine made from grapes grown

in accordance with principles of organic farming,

which typically excludes the use of artificial chemical

fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides.The

legal definition of organic wine varies from country

to country. The primary difference in the way that

organic wine is defined relates to the use (or non use)

of preservatives during the wine-making process.

BIO-DYNAMIC

The practice of biodynamics in viticulture (grape

growing) has become popular in recent years in

many growing regions. A number of very high-

end, high-profile growers have converted recently

to biodynamic practices. Many of the top estates

in France, including Maison Chapoutier in the

Rhone Valley and Domaine Zind-Humbrecht in

Alsace follow biodynamic viticulture. Currently,

for a wine to be labeled “biodynamic” it has to

meet the stringent standards laid down by the

Demeter Association, which is an internationally

recognized certifying body. As a practical method

of farming, biodynamics embodies the ideal of

ever-increasing ecological self-sufficiency just as

with modern agro-ecology, but includes ethical-

spiritual considerations. This type of viticulture

views the farm as a cohesive, interconnected living

system. Critics acknowledge the high quality of

biodynamic wines, but question whether many of

the improvements in vineyard health and wine taste

would have happened anyway if organic farming

were used, without the mysticism and increased

effort involved in biodynamics – we invite you to

see for yourself!!

NEW

We’ve added 120 new wines to the selection this

year from places as far afield as Tasmania to the

slightly closer Nandi Hills in India. Look out for the

NEW sign in Australia, Italy, Provence, India, France,

Austria, South Africa and many more.

No other wine region conjures such emotion as this

cool, corner of North East France. Much of the region

is fairly flat and featureless arable land but an outcrop

of chalk hills, an accident of geology close to the

ancient cathedral city of Reims has made Champagne

a household name around the world.

The word itself lends a sense of luxury, extravagance

and celebration and it is this emotive response that

we buy into, along with the wine inside every time we

uncork a bottle.

The wines themselves are made in a slow, labour

intensive process in which time is the key component

transforming light, dry whites into rich, complex

and delicately sparkling wines. Within the region,

however there is a huge variety of styles and flavours

depending on vineyard, grape varietal make up and

wine making. Our portfolio of Champagnes comprises

the world’s most highly sought after brands and a

superb range of styles.

Champagne | France

The Oldest Champagne House. The House of Ruinart is unlike any other. It was the first established Champagne House founded by 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart, realizing the ambition of his uncle of Dom Thierry Ruinart, who had foreseen the potential of sparkling wine

at the beginning of the century. The Chardonnay is the very soul of Ruinart. The grape, mainly harvested from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims terroirs, is at the heart of all the Ruinart cuvées.www.ruinart.com

The Luxury Champagne. Dom Pérignon is luxury champagne, inspired from the work of the mythical creator of Champagne, the Benedictine monk, Dom Pérignon, in the 17th century, who pursued throughout his life one goal: to create the best wine in the world. After years of work, Dom Pérignon is said to have announced : ‘I am drinking stars’. His wine reached the table of Louis XIV: luxury

champagne was born. As Cellar Master at the Abbey of Hautvillers, and thanks to his extraordinary contribution to a whole region, Dom Pérignon is recognised as being the creator of Champagne. Dom Pérignon makes only vintage wines. Only an outstanding harvest is worthy of Dom Pérignon vintage champagne.www.domperignon.com

Argentina is the 5th largest producer of wine in

the World. Mendoza, the most well-known area of

Argentine wine production and home to Familia

Zuccardi and most of our Argentine producers,

produces more than 60% of the country’s wine and is

the source of an even higher percentage of the total

exports. Due to the high altitude and low humidity of

the main wine producing regions, Argentine vineyards

rarely face the problems of insects, fungi, molds

and other diseases that can affect vineyards in other

CHAPTER I I

ARGENTINA SALTA

MENDOZA


countries. This allows cultivating with little or no

pesticides, enabling even organic wines to be

easily produced.

This year’s additions come from a leading winemaker

of the new generation, Sebastian Zuccardi is the

tireless head winemaker for Familia Zuccardi and its’

sister winery Santa Julia, he is ranked second in the

“TOP 10 ARGENTINE WINEMAKERS TO WATCH” by

Drinks Business. Leading the current terroir-driven

generation of Argentinean wines, Sebastian recently

launched a range of Finca wines from their best

parcels of the Uco Valley: Altamira, La Consulta,

Vista Flores… Acclaimed by all critics the Finca Piedra

Infinita 2012 received a stunning 98pt by Tim Atkins

MW, his best score for Argentinian Malbec so far

in 2015!

“Malbec is now considered the National Variety of Argentina and it’s very easy to see, or taste, why. It is the perfect variety for red meat dishes and BBQ’s, or enjoying on its own.


Uco Valley | Argentina

Familia Zuccardi is a family owned company based in Maipú, Mendoza. The company started its operation in 1963 when Alberto Zuccardi planted the first vineyard in this area and set the foundation stone for the project. After years of hard work and consolidated growth, Jose Alberto (Alberto’s son) started to explore the export markets and was one of the pioneers in changing the style of Argentine wines and adapting these to the international markets. Zuccardi today owns over 1.000 hectares of vineyards planted in the main producing regions of Mendoza. This extension of land is divided in 3 major valleys: Maipú, where

the main facility is located; Santa Rosa in the east of the province and the Uco Valley to the south with 5 vineyards: La Consulta, Vistaflores, La Ribera, San Pablo and the magnificent ‘Altamira’. It is in this last area precisely where Sebastian Zuccardi (third generation) leads a new and ambitious project exploring terroir wines and developing a new state of the art winery that will start operating in March 2014. This facility will be exclusively for Zuccardi’s high range wines: Q series, Zuccardi Z, Emma, Tito and Aluvional.www.zuccardiwines.com

“CDL 7” is a fine wine from Argentina created, signed and promoted by Michel Rolland, the world-renowned and highly innovative French winemaker. Michel Rolland encountered Argentina in 1988. He was immediately captivated by the country: its atmosphere, the people, the beauty of its landscape, its culture but also its fantastic vine-growing potential. Michel Rolland became very quickly convinced that Argentina offered all the necessary conditions for the production of a truly great wine: - Its location with respect to the Andes makes it possible to juggle with altitude and thus to offset the climate in an essentially sunny

country.

Ancient writings tell an endearing tale of Jamsheed, a Persian king who was said to be able to see his kingdom in a cup of wine, and whose fondness for fresh grapes lead him to store them in jars over winter where they would inevitably spontaneously ferment and be set aside as ‘poison’. One of King Jamsheed’s harem, despairing of frequent migraines, chooses to commit suicide by drinking from a poisoned jar. She wakes to find herself miraculously cured, informs her king who is most pleased and sets

about making many jars of ‘poison’ and thus wine was discovered. A five week vintage posting at Ridge Vineyards California turned into a 2 year full time position for Gary Mills under the tutelage of winemaker Paul Draper and from there Gary has worked in Oregon and various regions within Australia. He began the Jamsheed label in 2003 with a focus on single vineyard Syrahs and aromatic whites from unique sites in Victoria. www.jamsheed.com.au

William Downie has quickly developed a reputation as one of Australia’s finest Pinot Noir producers. The winery is based in Gippsland in eastern Victoria and also produces wine from vineyards in the Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula. William and Rachel founded the winery in 2003 after a chance meeting in Burgundy a couple of years earlier. William worked both French and Australian vintages at De Bortoli in the Yarra Valley and Maison De Bortoli, Domaine Fourrier and Domaine Hubert Lignier in Burgundy until 2007. He is currently winemaker and general manager at Thousand Candles in the Yarra Valley. Rachel spent several years in the

employ of American wine merchant Kermit Lynch, taking time each year to work vintage at the likes of Noël Verset, Domaine François Raveneau, Domaine Robert Chevillon and Le Sang des Cailloux. Production began with a sole Yarra Valley bottling, to which a Mornington Peninsula wine was added in 2006, joined by Gippsland in 2008. William and Rachel now live at their 16ha mixed farm and winery in West Gippsland with their two children.“I have never been aspired to make the best wine possible, only the truest wine possible…” William Downie - Winemaker www.williamdownie.com.au

Tolpuddle Vineyard was established in 1988 and took its name from the Tolpuddle Martyrs: English convicts transported to Tasmania for forming an agricultural union. The leader of the Martyrs, George Loveless, served some of his sentence working on a property near Richmond, part of which is now Tolpuddle Vineyard. The vineyard, located in Coal River Valley in Tasmania’s southeast, is planted with mature Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines, facing north-east and sloping gently up from Back Tea Tree Road. The soil is light silica over

sandstone and of moderate vigour, ensuring well-balanced vines producing grapes of great flavour and intensity. In 2006 Tolpuddle Vineyard won the inaugural Tasmanian Vineyard of the Year award, reflecting the performance of this unique and distinguished site.

Turkey Flat is a family owned and operated winery based in the heart of the Barossa Valley. The winery takes its name from the large flocks of native bush turkeys (Australian Bustards) found on the Bethany Estate at the time of settlement in the late 1840’s. Turkey Flat’s wines speak sensitively of their origin, not just of ‘the Barossa’ but of each of the three very different sub-regions their vineyards are situated in. A great deal of research has been

undertaken to manage vine vigour, controlling shoot growth as well as shoot and bunch thinning in order to reduce yields. The wines presented here are perfect expressions of how well Rhone varietals can work in the Barossa, and the now iconic Turkey Flat Rosé exhibits the outstanding quality strived for by the winery.www.turkeyflat.com.au

Chris Ringland – Winemaker:‘To sustainably manage the vines, less is better. I don’t disturb the soil with tillage. I prune the vines hard and feed them gently

during the growing season with a spray of natural nutrients.As soon as the grapes begin to colour, the entire vineyard is covered with bird net, to prevent damage to the fruit and to enable it to achieve full ripeness in pristine condition.” The CR Shiraz has become one of Australia’s most sought after affordable premium wines.

Cape Mentelle was founded by legendary Cloudy Bay innovator David Hohnen and his two brothers Gilles and Mark in 1970 just two years after the first vines were planted in what is today recognized as one of the New World’s best premium wine producing regions, Margaret River. Cape Mentelle has remained at the forefront of Margaret River’s rise to prominence. The estate now comprises over 150 hectares of vineyard and

produces wines of complexity and depth but always with a vibrancy and freshness which recall the stunning coastal sites on which the grapes are harvested.

This vibrant family run business is imbued with passion, joie-de-vivre, and a genuine love for all things vinous, making them today one of WA’s most admired and respected producers. Howard Park’s philosophy is that premium wine can only come from excellent fruit. Simply, they go to wherever the fruit grows best and have become renowned for producing profound wines which deliver a classic flavour and presence of regionality in their multi-region wines. The MadFish story begins in the far southern reaches of

Western Australia where 15 kilometres from the quiet coastal town of Denmark is the picturesque MadFish Bay. According to local folklore, the bay’s tranquillity is broken when two tides meet, resulting in schools of small fish going mad. MadFish are wines with an emphasis on enjoyment and drinkability and are noted for their pure, fresh and clean characteristics in which the flavour of the fruit is the primary character.www.burchfamilywines.com.au

A new addition to the Western Australian portfolio, the Plantagenet winery was founded in the late ‘60s by British visionary Tony Smith, who found his way to the Mt Barker region, 5 hours south of Perth in Western Australia. Tony was drawn to the region’s cooler climate and ancient free draining soils, and later went on to establish the Great Southern region. Tony Smith is one of the Australia’s true wine pioneers, noted especially for the cool climate style that is so fashionable today. The region is unique for its cooler growing climate, in particular the combination of warm days yet very cool nights due to the influence of the

Southern Ocean. Plantagenet’s vineyards benefit from a brilliant vineyard team with experience in their estate vineyards, some of which are over 40 years old. The winemaking approach under Cath Oates is focused on preserving fruit flavours through minimal intervention, letting the regional style and vineyards shine through. This meticulous approach to quality combined with the added complexity gained from their mature vineyards makes Plantagenet stand out as a world class producer.www.plantagenetwines.com

Five generations of the prestigious Laurenz “Lenz” Moser family stand behind the name. With Laurenz Maria Moser the Fifth’s twin daughters Anna and Sophie, the 16th generation of the Moser wine family is already well on its way. The mission of the “Grüner Men“ is to play a leading role in establishing the Grüner Veltliner variety amongst

the premier white wines of the world. The venture was started in 2005, and Laurenz V. now exports to 45 countries in all five continents.

The essence of any truly world-class wine lies in the

vine. The best wines are result of a combination of the

correct variety, planted in the right area, and managed

in the vineyard with a view to extracting the ultimate

varietal character. So how is it that year after year,

Chile produces some of the world’s purest expressions

of varietal fruit? The following 5 key factors help to

explain why…

• The influence of sea currents- The Humboldt Current

is a cold ocean current that flows 1,000 km along the

CURICO VALLEY


western coast of South America. It has a considerable

cooling influence on Chile’s climate and is responsible

for the aridity in the north. Marine air is cooled by the

current and thus is not conductive to generating rain.

• Chile’s unique geography - During the day, sea

breezes carried by the cold Humboldt Current

penetrate inland. During the night, cold air descends

from snow-covered peaks of the Andes.

• Ideal Mediterranean climate - Warm days,

cool nights, rainy winters, warm summers, low

atmospheric humidity, and broad daily temperature

differentials. A long growing season with scant rains

during harvest, a fair climate and bright sunshine

combine to create high levels of antioxidants and

flavanols in the grapes.

• In soil terms Chile is not long but wide - Chile has

greater soil diversity and climatic difference from east

to west than from north to south.

• Organics & Sustainability - Natural barriers maintain

healthy conditions and protect against pests and

diseases. Extraordinary healthy vineyards allow

organics & sustainability to come naturally in this

“Garden of Eden”. Chile has some of the largest

organic vineyards in the world.

When you combine this bounty of natural elements

with the skills and experience of the great wineries

MMI partner with, it’s easy to see why our Chilean

range of wines is in constant demand by consumers.

Since then, Valdivieso has been the most important sparkling wine brand in Chile, with over a 60% market share and the distinction of being one of Chile’s most prestigious brands. In the early 1980’s, based on the reputation and experience achieved throughout the production of sparkling wines and complemented with a new strive and a vigorous entrepreneurial vision, Viña Valdivieso revamped the still wines production, achieving in a short time outstanding results, awards, consumers preference and brand development. Viña

Valdivieso is the outcome of a project of fine wines with high quality standards. The project is supported on two strong principles: a constant quest for excellence, and to produce different and attractive wines through a careful selection of different grape varieties and the best terroirs for each variety. The different grape’s origin allows us to capture their distinct seal, and to obtain best of every grape variety. In the cellar, our work is to reveal the quality of those grapes in each bottle, and this takes the best techniques, the most efficient technologies and an appropriate use of them.www.valdiviesovineyard.com

Errázuriz’s philosophy is best expressed by Don Maximiano, founder of Viña Errázuriz, who said, “From the best land, the best wine.” As an estate winery, Viña Errázuriz strives to produce the finest wines by controlling every stage of the winemaking process, from grape growing in the Aconcagua, Casablanca and Curic” valleys, to winemaking with the most natural techniques. An emphasis is placed on the delicate handling of the wines, with the aim of producing wines with elegance and complexity. It is his dynamism and passion for wine that has made Errázuriz such an

The right bank is a whole different approach; “Vignerons” are key here where once was considered as being the quiet backwater of the Bordeaux region. The vineyards are smaller, the average St Emilion ownership is a mere 8ha, the estates are back to human size and when questioned about the left bank, owners often joke that their Châteaux are comparable to small sheds from Pauillac… The earlier ripening Merlot is the grape in the driving seat and Cabernet Franc will often claim a fair share of the rest.

Grape growers first and foremost, they adhere to an uncompromising quality policy for all wines, and their approach is reviewed and fine-tuned every year. This commitment is evident at every stage of

the winemaking process, so that every single one of the wines is a benchmark, vintage after vintage. Since it was created in 1988, Dourthe N˚1 has become the reference Bordeaux brand. It is the fruit of the determination, the quest for perfection and the talent of its creators (Christophe Ollivier and Denis Dubourdieu); their intransigence has given Dourthe N˚1 its status and has set it apart whilst limiting its production.www.dourthe.com

With nearly 25,000ha planted and nearly 800 different “climats”, Burgundy is simply beautiful in its complexity. The notion of “Terroir” takes it full dimension with appellations such as La Romanée (0.8ha) or larger like (Le) Montrachet, nearly 8ha and split between 18 different producers!

The region starts a bit over an hours drive north of Beaune in the Chablis area where Chardonnay grows on a 180 million year old limestone soil, rich in oyster shells and other fossils: the Kimmeridgean soil.

CHAPTER XII I

BURGUNDY, FRANCE

BURGUNDY


A unique soil profile alongside its cool climate gives Chablis a unique freshness and racy acidity which differentiates it from other Chardonnays produced in the world.

The great wines of Burgundy are said to come from the Côte d’Or, this 55km stretch of land where Pinot Noir dominates the northern part, north of Beaune- great names such as Vosne-Romanée, Morey St Denis, Gevrey-Chambertin… To the south of Beaune is where the best Chardonnay in world is cultivated: Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault… At least that’s what the world thought until the Judgment of Paris in 1976! The definition of the best wine is highly linked to gustative and personal opinion, what is sure is that Burgundy has been slowly nurtured and

developed for the last 2,000 years, it is down to the commitment and worship of generations of dedicated wine lovers, either from the Church or more lately by “vignerons” families.

This year our Burgundy portfolio is bolstered by the addition of the renowned Maison Louis Jadot and nearly 190 years of Burgundian winemaking history, in parallel our constantly evolving fine wine list also sees the introduction of Olivier Leflaive. What else? Keep an eye out for the stunning range of Pouilly-Fuissé of Domaine Ferret , real gems from the Macon region.

“This year our Burgundy portfolio is bolstered by the addition of the renowned Maison Louis Jadot and nearly 190 years of Burgundian winemaking history.


The Moulin de Vaudon, the property of Joseph Drouhin, is an 18th Century watermill straddling the Serein River, close to the Grand Cru vineyards of Chablis. Because of its unique location at the heart of their 38 hectare vineyard estate (95 acres), this historical mill is the headquarters of the Drouhin Domaine in Chablis. Biological and biodynamic approach was adopted: only natural products are used and all procedures show the utmost respect for the soil, the vine and the environment. Joseph Drouhin, a precursor and pioneer in this great wine region for

40 years, has strengthened the identity of their prestigious Chablis Domaine. With this in mind, and starting with the vintage 2008, the name “Vaudon” is associated with Joseph Drouhin for all its Chablis wines as a sign of the firm’s allegiance to this historical terroir. The true amateur will discover in these wines the Drouhin signature: the originality of the terroir, the finesse of the aromas, the elegance and harmony of the structure and the style of the vintage.www.drouhin-vaudon-chablis.com

The family owns enviable sites in Chassagne-Montrachet. Jean-Marc employs great intricacy in his winemaking: subtle tweaks to the process

such as his discerning selection of coopers and the wood they use, and mixing wines from vines of different ages helps create a series of excellent wines. Jean-Marc uses around 15% new barrels for his premier cru and lesser wines, while the grand crus are afforded 30% new Alliers oak. The wines have great purity of fruit, with balanced acidity and long, clean flavours which evoke their origins with great precision.

A precise knowledge of the region's most remarkable terroirs forms the basis of the parcel by parcel vinification for which the Domaine is renowned: in particular, the classification of Tête de Cru and Hors Classe were established by Jeanne Ferret. It was entirely down to her that the wines were bottled at the Domaine - at a time when this was certainly not standard practice. Her daughter, Colette, followed in her footsteps, developing

the Domaine's reputation for excellence by focusing on the maturation period. When Louis Jadot acquired the 18-hectare property in 2008, its aim was to continue working in the tradition of excellence established by the Ferrets.

the Rhône is now flowing under the broken bridge at Avignon, the climates warms up and here Syrah is just part of the orchestra directed by Grenache. The landscape is flatter and often brushed by the Mistral wind, vineyards are covered by the famous pebbles of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

The Rhône Valley has long been kept in the shadow of the near neighbour Burgundy or the further region of Bordeaux, but today’s consumers are rediscovering

its beauty and variety. The Rhône offers great value approachable wines. The likes of Michel Chapoutier drive the region forward as year after year awards and 100 point scores keep flowing in… this year you will find few new additions from St Joseph and Hermitage white as well as the best value Cote-Rôtie in the Gulf.

Since the beginning of the adventure in 1808, 7 generations have contributed to build one of the finest estates in the Rhone Valley. M. Chapoutier has spread itself across the Rhône region year after year and has diversified its offering with wines coming from the best appellations such as Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Ardèche, Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Châteauneauf-du-Pape, Banyuls, and Roussillon. Today, M. Chapoutier is the biggest estate owner within the Hermitage appellation. Michel Chapoutier took over the direction of the winery in 1990, which is still presently independent and family owned. His dynamism led

to the winery expansion in other French wine regions and across France borders like his tremendous adventures in New World countries, Australia being the most exciting of them all where the family now owns three estates. The family winery also faced radical changes in its winemaking and vineyard management approach when Michel converted the entire estate to biodynamic farming. Michel also introduced the brail language on the labels and he had a strong input on the creation of the Best French Student Sommelier Challenge.www.chapoutier.com

Because there are no grand wines without equally fine grapes, the cultivation and nurturing of the vine is at the heart of the philosophy at Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné. Throughout the entire year the utmost care to every minute detail of our viticulture is taken, that each vine may nurture and ripen its grapes in an ideal condition. Thus, importing every nuance of the terroir into the wine. The true richness of the wines lies in the diversity of terroir, and each wine must reflect its unique

appellation of origin. Viticultural practices are based on respect for the environment, meeting ‘Certified Organic’ standards in most areas. Precision in winemaking and viticultural practices aim to reveal the essence of the terroir in the highest purity.

Situated since its origin on Plateau de La Crau, in the southeast of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC, the estate has grown, developed and matured on this vast stony terrace which, generation after generation, has imparted all of its character. Of the 173 acres that form the domaine today, 65 are dedicated to red Châteauneuf-

On this site, the Brunier family has for over a century been making red and white Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines that are heavily influenced by their terroir é the rampart behind which the family protects each vintage from the onslaught of outrageous modernity.www.vieuxtelegraphe.com

As described by someone with a great fondness for the place, “Les Pallières is a wonderful vine garden that clings to the rear of the Dentelles de Montmirail limestone cliffs”. A garden created and cultivated by the same family for centuries, where livestock farming and olive trees gradually gave way to vines. In 1998, opportunity called for the Brunier brothers and Kermit Lynch, and they became the owners of this superb locale, planted with Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Clairette and Bourboulenc. Thus did the trio cement an association begun 20 years earlier, when the first cases of Vieux Télégraphe were imported to America. Les Pallières was for them a new place with a new climate and exposure é a new terroir, in effect, but what charisma! The first years were naturally devoted to restoring the vineyard. Nearly five acres of vines were

pulled up: in so doing, the team listened to what the terroir told them, but also made room for a winery tailored to the style of wines they wanted to craft. Four years later, the new vat room was built. It carefully respects their philosophy of gravity intake and of giving each parcel’s grapes very specific care, so that their diverse characters are reflected in bottle. They have now found Les Pallières’ style é imposed by the landscape, by the influence of this very singular exposure, by the limestone scree that has rolled off the Dentelles’ foothills, mixed with sandy-clay soil in which the roots of the very old vines tap their resources. At once gutsy and elegant, warm and mineral, this is a consummate Gigondas made for ageing.www.brunier.fr

“Château La Nerthe is one of the oldest (16th century) and largest estate of Châteauneuf-du-Pape; its luxury offering, Cuvée des Cadettes, is one of the finest wines on planet Earth.” Robert M. Parker, July 2006 2013 marks the 120th anniversary of Les Cadettes, the historic plot planted with Grenache in 1893. It’s also their 15th year of Organic Certification. Chateau La Nerthe’s South facing, single old vine vineyard of 220 acres is a rare field blend of all 13 grape varieties allowed within Chateauneuf-du-

Pape, including 10% of White varieties. The famous pebble stones making this corner of the Southern Rhone so unique dominate the terroir. After being among the very first wineries to introduce new oak barrels in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, La Nerthe continues to innovate by systematically co-fermenting the numerous grape varietals to achieve balance, elegance and complexity.

For centuries, dry rosé wine has been a staple in the south of France, where it is embraced as the best lunchtime, seaside, and all-occasion wine. Particularly in the coastal Provence region, the heart of the world’s dry rosé production, a passion for dry pink permeates the culture. Provençal citizens know from centuries of winegrowing history that vin rosé pairs with all the foods they like, any time of year. In fact, French rosé outsells white wine in France.

However, some consumers still equate pink with sweet, based on past encounters with sugary White Zinfandel. Yet, as rosé experiences a global rebirth and wine consumers become more knowledgeable, Gulf wine drinkers are discarding the misperception that dry rosé wines are the same as sweet blush wines. They’re discovering the joy of what some call the world’s most versatile wine.

So what is a true rosé? First, rosé is a category of wine – just as white and red are categories. It takes its name from the French word for pink. Even within a single wine-producing region, such as Provence, rosés will display a range of colors, textures, and flavors. Yet all Provence rosés have some common characteristics: on the palate they tend to be fresh, crisp, bright, and dry.

Stephen Cronk had been in the corporate world for 15 years and in August 2008 turned down a promotion that would have meant more money but also more stress, longer hours and less time with his young family. He had been talking about moving to France to make wine for some time and this was the moment he’d been waiting for to put the plan into action.

A year later in August 2009 the Cronks, with their possessions packed up on the back of a truck and with barely a word of French

between them, headed south to a small village called Cotignac, in the heart of Provence.Stephen then set up a small wine business with the principle objective of making a Provence rosé that would become regarded as one of the best from the region.

‘I love German wines but they just don’t seem to sell’;

the perennial lament of many of us in the wine trade.

We are delighted to report, therefore that German

wines have enjoyed something of a renaissance in

“It was, and still is, a big challenge for us to bring 800 years of family tradition together with today‘s modern wine demands in a harmonious way, so that they strengthen each other“, says Donatus Prinz von Hessen. This interaction is reflected through the entire Prinz von Hessen estate. While the wines, with their bright, lively and fresh expression, demonstrate a modern style, the focus on Riesling is testament to Rheingau tradition. His vision

is to earn global recognition for his Riesling and his estate, and to create wines in the Rheingau reflecting the terroir of the estate’s vineyards, with an unmistakable style. “Quality begins in the vineyard!“ Guided by this philosophy and with a sharp focus on a clear target – to get the absolutely best out of each grape vine – the estate practices a future- and nature- orientated viniculture.www.prinz-von-hessen.de

Schloss Vollrads is probably the oldest wine estate in the world. A document in the Mainz City Archives shows that on November 18, 1211, wines were sold from (what is today) Schloss Vollrads, to the St. Victor monastery in Mainz. This long tradition is enhanced by the most modern technical equipment and meticulous care in the cellars. The estate’s 80 ha vineyards are planted exclusively with Riesling grapes. In order to achieve the highest quality for wine possible, Schloss Vollrads controls yields

through selective pruning, practices ecologically-oriented vineyard maintenance, harvests its grapes late and selectively, by hand and allows its wines to develop with as little interference as possible. The cellar master strives to retain all the grapes’ natural aromas, minerals, and acids during vinification and to produce fruity Riesling wines that reflect their varietal character.www.schlossvollrads.de

In the rock and pop scene, “unplugged” means a performance that allows musicians to reach their audience in a very intimate atmosphere. Without electronic influences or amplification, they can present their songs in a relaxed and pure manner. In this unique atmosphere the audience can enjoy authenticity and individuality to the full. In an age of technical reproduction and

mass production the “unplugged” idea represents an appreciation of manual craftsmanship and for the realisation that not every innovation and trend automatically makes music better. At Weingut Tesch, they have transferred this idea to one subject: Riesling.www.weingut-tesch.de

The wine makers behind DEEP ROOTS belong to the rising stars of the German wine elite and trade under the simple name of “Drei Winzer” (engl. Three wine-growers). The men behind the name are Jochen Dreissigacker, Stefan Winter and Philipp Wittmann.

Winemakers have to be crazy, passionate and adventurous to produce Riesling in the stony vineyards which stretch from the banks of the Mosel River to the precipitous slopes of the valley. Cliffs and rough, rocky terrain make this area one of the most spectacular wine-growing regions in the world. There are many other places in which it is easier to produce wine but none of

them are quite as stunning. Four friends (Axel Pauly, Thomas Ludwig, Sebastian Oberbillig & Markus Berres) who have the same passion for wine joined forces to create CLIFFHANGER, a fruit-driven Riesling with plenty of character and minerals.

NORTH WEST ITALY PIEDMONT

LOMBARDY


North West Italy is home to some of the best and

most well-known wine growing regions, including

Piedmont and Liguria. Stunning views, food, and wine

are abundant here, in a region full of rich history.

The North West of Italy is mountainous, with the Alps

and Apennine mountain ranges influencing both

the climate and terroir. The region, bordered by the

west at the Ligurian Sea and the north by France

and Switzerland, has very rocky soil and as such,

only a small amount of land is suitable for vineyard

plantings. The soil that is cultivatable, however, is very

rich in clay, limestone and minerals which accounts for

the minerality found in many of the wines the region

produces.

The climate of North West Italy is relatively mild

year round due to the effect of the mountains.

By the coast, rainfall is plentiful as is sunshine on

the mountainous slopes, whilst in the valley it is

significantly lower with abundant fog. These varied

climates help the native grapes of the region to thrive

and achieve their full winemaking potential.

Winemaking in the region is concentrated

predominantly on quality against quantity, and on

local grape varieties. North West Italy has several DOC

controlled regions as well as DOCG classifications.

“Stunning views, food, and wine are abundant here, in a region full of rich history.


Piedmont | North West Italy

The Dezzani family name is held in the highest esteem in the region of Piedmont, particularly among the many growers dotted around the beautiful hills of Asti, Acqui, Alba and Monferrato with whom the family share an intimate knowledge and love of the region. Located in Cocconato d’Asti, Dezzani was founded in 1934 by Luigi Dezzani, grandfather of the current owners, Franca, Luigi and Giovanni. Luigi’s hard work and dedication to the promotion of Piemontese wines was recognised when he was awarded the ‘Cavaliere del Lavoro’, Italy’s highest honour for entrepreneurial

excellence. Today, his grandson and namesake carries on Luigi’s legacy producing a significant range of classic Piemontese wines whilst maintaining strong relationships with growers, allowing Dezzani to pick and choose grapes from some of the best vineyards, acting as negociant for some of the best estates in the various DOC’s and also finding time to chair the Barbera (of Asti and Monferrato) Consortium, the youngest person ever to have served in this capacity.www.dezzani.it

In the rolling hills outside the town of Gavi lies the estate of La Scolca, which was taken over between 1917 and 1919 by the Soldati family. Today the estate is managed by Giorgio Soldati and his daughter Chiara, the fifth generation of the Soldati family to own the winery. La Scolca is comprised of 55 hectares of vineyards, some owned, some leased, but all farmed bio-dynamically by the Soldati team. Some of the vines are more than 60 years old. The vineyards extend through 11 towns, including the Rovereto commune of Gavi in Piedmont, considered by experts to have the

best terroir for the Cortese grape variety. Three years before the Gavi was granted DOC status, La Scolca registered the trademark Gavi dei Gavi in the US, better known as the “Black Label.” Gavi obtained DOCG status in 1998. Producers within the commune of Gavi are allowed to label their wines as ‘Gavi DOCG del commune di Gavi’ or ‘Gavi di Gavi’ but La Scolca is the only producer allowed to use their popular and renowned ‘Gavi dei Gavi’ trademark name to distinguish themselves.www.scolca.it

It all began with the nickname “Braida”, which was acquired by the great-grandfather Giuseppe Bologna who was a champion in playing “pallone elastico” on town and church squares, a typical sport of the Piedmont region. Giacomo Bologna inherited both vineyards and nickname from his father, but above all an unconditional love for his land and wine. Giacomo ventured to produce a Super Barbera, vinifying the grapes into a quality wine and maturing it subsequently in French barriques barrels, a practice unknown to most at that time but widely used nowadays. Bricco dell’Uccellone, the flagship wine of the company, has now become

one of the world’s leading Italian wines. Since 1961 until today Braida has been the amplified and faithful image of the philosophy of Giacomo and Anna, their prospect of life, earth, wine and friendship. Raffaella and Giuseppe Bologna, both oenologists, are the third “Braida” generation and are united by the initial dream to elevate the Barbera grape into a noble status which for some would seem to be reserved only for international varieties. At the winery Braida the courage of the young generation is combined with firmly rooted traditions.www.braida.it

It became an icon, a symbol for those who love to live their life with style. Martini & Rossi was founded by Alessandro Martini, a skilled and respected master herbalist and Luigi Rossi an entrepreneur and successful wine merchant. Their motto ‘Volere é Potere’ (where there is a will there is a way) set them on the path to global success. Energy, passion and dedication guided Martini on its incredible journey from its origins in Italy to New York, Brazil, Egypt, Hong Kong and beyond. By 1903, Martini had become one

of the most international brands worldwide; reaching 70 countries across all continents. In 1993, Martini Asti received the prestigious D.O.C.G. seal of quality. In order for a sparkling wine to be called Asti, the wine must be made from 100% Moscato grapes grown in the Asti region. The wines are made from grapes that express the characteristics of a place, the way of life of its inhabitants, and the traditions shaped along the years.

Bellavista is the result of a determined search for perfect Italian harmony. To realise this dream Bellavista has rewritten the history of the area, choosing 190 hectares of vines, some of the best in Franciacorta for exposure, character and expressive potential. This rereading of this small wine-growing legacy has given rise to 107 small crus that express the intrinsic personality of the land and the most subtle nuances of its character and personality. The winemakers then undertook the great adventure of developing a oenological style that would establish a new interpretation of the art of producing a Franciacorta wine. The Bellavista cuvée are the result of horizontal and vertical blends of over 90 selections from 107 crus, and are harvested and fermented separately. This

is the secret of the complexity, balance and also the longevity of a style that is evident in every vintage and every variety. To ensure the longevity of this harmony, exceptional raw materials are required along with a fermentation process that exalts its qualities. Fermentation partially takes place in wooden barrels to guarantee the long-life and finesse of the base wines. The remuage is done strictly by “by hand” and ageing can last for up to 72 months as in the case of the Bellavista Vittorio Moretti. A “savoir faire” that has become very rare in the lands that produce sparkling wine, but which is applied with great pride and determination by Bellavista.www.bellavistawine.it

In Trentino - Alto Adige, Germanic influences prevail

and grapes such as Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, and

Sauvignon are grown and thrive in the warm days and

chilly nights. Grapes here are grown on the hillsides, in

terraces to produce the best quality. Hillside growing

techniques are also common in Friuli-Venezia Giulia

where the wines often have ‘colli’, meaning ‘hills’ in

their names.

The Po Valley covers 57% of the North East of Italy.

Protected from the harsh northern European climate

by the mountains to the north, the cooler climates

here are well-suited to white varieties like Garganega

while the warmer Adriatic coastal plains and river

valleys are where the renowned Valpolicella,

Alois Lageder is a synonym for a sustainable, holistic corporate philosophy, largely in certified biodynamic viticulture, and also for a wide spectrum of cultural and artistic activities. Founded in 1823, and now directed by Alois Lageder, the fifth generation of family ownership, the winery is situated in Italy’s most northern wine growing region, the mountainous Alto Adige, right in the middle of the dramatic scenery of the Dolomite peaks. The wines of Alois Lageder derive from sustainable, holistic methods of production.

They are made partly from grapes that are grown and certified Biodynamic, and partly from grapes that are purchased from trusted local growers. Fidelity to nature and progressive thinking come alive in authentic wines: the end result of a multifaceted, holistic concept grounded in sustainable practice, respect for nature, regard for the environment, and responsibility for the generations still to come.www.aloislageder.eu

Situated in Valgatara, the centre of the Valpolicella production zone, the Campagnola winery was founded in 1886 by Carlo Campagnola, who initiated a tradition of quality which is flourishing to this day. The founder’s grandson and namesake, Giuseppe, who now owns and runs the newly renovated winery, has created a portfolio of wines not only from the Veneto but from regions as far afield as Puglia. His wines represent excellent value and quality. Despite already producing a superb Amarone,

Giuseppe decided to push the boundaries further and make a Cru of truly exceptional quality. This culminated in an Amarone of immense character and depth, which he named Caterina Zardini in honour of his late grandmother.

The story of Allegrini is the story of a unique journey. From the family’s roots as vintners in a small village in northeast Italy, the company has grown, through impassioned enthusiasm and challenge, to win worldwide recognition for the excellence of its wines. Today Allegrini is a leading wine producer in the Valpolicella Classico area in Veneto and one of the most highly acclaimed Italian wine companies in the world. From Valpolicella, the Allegrini Family’s journey led them naturally to found new Estates in Tuscany. Firstly, in 2001, ‘Poggio al Tesoro’ in Bolgheri: from some 50 hectares of carefully and meticulously tended vineyards, this estate produces wines that combine strength and elegance that since their

debut on the market have succeeded in winning acclaim from both the public and international critics alike. Then, in 2007, ‘San Polo’ in Montalcino: again, Allegrini has risen to the challenge that Italy’s most famous wine-producing area inevitably represents, bringing together tradition and innovation to create wines of great elegance. Handled with craftsman-like care in a cellar ecologically designed to minimize energy wastage and the impact on the environment, the grapes preserve the finesse of the fragrances natural to Sangiovese confirming San Polo’s credentials as a new and already authoritative ambassador of Brunello’s aristocratic lineage.www.allegrini.it

Four generations have worked at the Pieropan family estate since its foundation in 1890, each contributing something different depending on their generation, their knowledge and their entrepreneurial spirit. Viticulture and vinification began with Leonildo, a doctor in the small town of Soave, who, driven by his understanding of biology and chemistry began working in the family vineyards and cellars. His sons, Fausto and Gustavo continued his work with great passion, but the turning point for the estate came with Leonildo, grandson of the

founder who, with the force of his sense of vocation, carved out his own style. A belief in the central importance of the vine, an unceasing pursuit of quality and innovative winemaking processes are the key charactestics of the Pieropan identity. Leonildo shares his great love of the earth with his wife, Teresita, and together they have instilled an appreciation of their family’s land in their sons Andrea and Dario, who run the estate with their parents.www.pieropan.it

In the middle of the 1990s, Barone Ricasoli started a huge project to renew the vineyards in its Chianti Classico land, amounting to 245 hectares. The old vineyards (all planted at the end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 1970s), were ripped apart by Esca, with low densities per hectare and containing all the varieties belonging to Chianti Classico, but distributed randomly. So an excellent opportunity arose to renew and improve the vineyards, while introducing international varieties, such as Merlot and

Cabernet at the same time. Considering that most of the land was made up of rock and that the breaking up of the land had to be done using ploughs and explosives, the problem of reclamation proved to be complicated and hard right from the start. So far 204 out of 230 hectares have been replaced in Brolio, using modern preparation techniques and genetically selected material, all aimed at obtaining long-lived vineyards capable of producing high-quality grapes. www.ricasoli.it

The Tenuta Argentiera estate is situated on the coast of Tuscany between Livorno and Grosseto, about 100km south-west of Florence, on the southernmost border of the small but prestigious Bolgheri DOC zone. It is part of the former Tenuta di Donoratico estate owned by the Serristori, an influential Florentine family who were given permanent use of this land by the Medici family in 1512. In Etruscan times marshes, natural springs and silver mines (the name “Argentiera” derives from “argento,” Italian for silver) were found on the uplands of the estate making it an

important mining and farming area. Today the Tenuta is jointly owned by brothers Corrado and Marcello Fratini, renowned entrepreneurs from Florence, and Marchese Piero Antinori.

On leaving Valpolicella, cradle of Amarone and Allegrini’s native home, the family passed through Montalcino, to Brunello, and to their destination: San Polo. The idea behind San Polo was clear: to maximize the potential of the terroir, make the quest for quality a priority beyond compromise and offer our company and the market another opportunity to expand and develop, thanks to the prestigious wines of Montalcino. Those who know Montalcino understand the importance of the variation in altitude, the exposure to the sun, the soil composition in the vineyards and the

role played by geographical location (slopes). This is why, at San Polo, they feel very strongly about preserving the natural landscape, the specific environment and all its beauty, via the philosophy that inspires their work both in the vineyards and in the cellar.

The Poliziano estate was formed in 1961 from an original nucleus of 22 hectares and has now reached 200 hectares, of which 120 are cultivated with DOC and DOCG vineyards. The work at the Poliziano estate starts in the vineyards, eliminating the less favourably positioned sites and replanting where conditions of soil and climate are optimal. The greatest care is taken over production; the grapes are rigorously selected at varying stages, during ripening, when they are harvested and when they arrive

in the cellar. Fermentation and maturation are carried out with the maximum attention: the extraction of the polyphenolic substances from their skins takes place in the new cellar in a very soft way and the choice of wood is carefully made.

Since 1950, Tenute Silvio Nardi have been working passionately on the production of prestigious and unique wines. The winery’s aim, both in vineyards and cellar, is to obtain flavour and quality in the wines produced with Sangiovese of the two estates in Montalcino. Tenute Silvio Nardi draw their inspiration from the tradition, taking advantage of the research, always trying to keep intact their farm characteristics. “I want our wines to express the essence of every vineyard in that unique area of Tuscany known

as Montalcino”. This is Tenute Silvio Nardi’s mission explained by Emilia Nardi. The finesse and identity that Sangiovese grosso expresses in each vineyard of the two estates, so different in their soils and climates, are undeniable. Manachiara, exposed to the east where sun rises, offers full bodied and powerful wines. Casale del Bosco, in the west side where sun goes down, offers elegant and complex wines.www.tenutenardi.com

As reported in the historical archives of San Gimignano, the Baroncini family started producing Vernaccia wine in San Gimignano in 1489, thanks to Antonio di Bastiano, man of property. Following the usages and customs of that period, his daughter Apollonia pursued his work. She married Michele Pesciolini, a nobleman of San Gimignano, and thus brought her family lustre and land, among which the Torre Terza farm, still

owned by the family. From father to son, 500 years have passed and today, in San Gimignano, the Baroncini family, founder of the present firm, still produces wine, as if to testify how time cannot affect traditions. With their wines they look to convey to their customers and friends their love for the land and the joy of living.www.baroncini.it

The company has three separate wineries, producing over 7 million bottles a year, situated in the principal viticultural areas of the Marche. This allows master winemaker, Giuliano d’Ignazi and world famous consultant oenologist, Riccardo Cottarella, to create a strong point of difference, placing the focus firmly on the wines and grapes of the Marche region. Moncaro has made its name over the years by combining two factors that typify the potential of this exciting region, the quality of its wines and a desire to

push the boundaries both commercially and viticulturally. Of the 1,700ha co-operative, all are controlled using integrated farming methods, a further 60ha are certified organic and 350ha have EU certification for ‘low environmental impact’. Over the years, many of the Moncaro wines have won several important awards and accolades such as the ‘Italian White Wine of the Year’ trophy for Le Vele at the IWC Awards.www.moncaro.com

International varieties such as Chardonnay and

Merlot work well alongside the traditional varieties

of Nero d’Avola and Grecanico. Planeta is a fantastic

example of this diversity. Producing wines in Sicily

since the 1600’s, Planeta champions the diversity of

the island with a family of critically acclaimed wines.

Joining them are the great wineries of Feudo Principi

selection of Sicilian wines. Italy’s other main island,

Sardinia, is also a great land for viticulture. Here

Vermentino for the whites offers a great clean &

and Gaglioppo, two lesser known grape varieties ones

but with real interest and the signature varieties of

Calabria. In Puglia, the wines from Masseria Altemura

have a true sense of place and are great examples of

interesting, indigenous grape varieties.


Puglia | Southern Italy & Islands

Masseria Altemura is situated deep in the countryside of the districts of Torre Santa Susanna and of Oria, in the heart of the Salento Peninsula, an area permeated through and through with Mediterranean character and where the light, the breezes and the sea coalesce in a unique alchemy. As had been the case with Pascotto Carissimo way back in 1222, Gianni Zonin saw in this area – and in Masseria Altemura in particular – the potential for contributing to the renaissance of wine production in Puglia. There thus began a long period of planning followed by one of actual

refurbishment, involving the land and the buildings that now represent the heart of the estate’s headquarters. The total area of the property is over 300 hectares – of which 130 (soon to become 150) are vineyards and 40 consist of olive groves – thus ensuring substantial annual production. It is a single holding, restored with total respect for the environment and the original architecture. As in the time of the Counts Martini Carissimo, it now represents one of the flagship estates in Puglian agriculture.www.masseriaaltemura.it

In the heart of Sicily lies the Feudo Principi di Butera, in the province of Caltanissetta, which is recognised today as one of the best wine making regions in Italy thanks above all to its production of high quality, prestigious red wines. The 320 hectare estate also extends into the ancient lands of the Feudo Deliella and includes over 180 vineyards in an exclusive terroir, thanks to the warm and dry climate, which optimises the development and perfect ripening of the grapes, a sea breeze which carries all its benefits to the vines and the warm, strong sunlight which is

so typical of the southern areas of the island. The Zonin family, owners of the Feudo Principi di Butera since 1997, have always aimed to celebrate this unique, sun soaked and perfume rich land by producing world class wines which express the full force and soul of Sicily. “I am proud that our Sicilian estate is a bastion of quality and the rural way of life, an oasis of the traditions which we want to defend”.

From day one, the philosophy behind Cusumano has been to emphasise the importance of knowledge of terroir. The winery was established in 2000 with brothers Alberto and Diego who were aided by consultant winemaker Mario Ronco and his intimate knowledge of the Sicilian terrain. The locations of their vineyards allow for maximum expression of not only the indigenous Sicilian grape varieties, but also classic varietals that, according to Diego, evolve to take on their own Sicilian identity. The estate has developed

reputation for quality, due in part to Diego and Alberto’s setting the highest quality standards to every area of production, from vineyard to bottle to company identity. Their flagship wine, Noa, was the first wine ever to receive a Tre Bicchieri rating by Gambero Rosso on its very first vintage, and the Italian and International awards have been flooding in ever since. In 2013, Cusumano was named ‘Winery of the Year’ by Italian wine magazine Il Mio Vino.www.cusumano.it

Most of the World’s fine wines fall into a classic style but Chateau Musar has forged its own. Quite a feat for a winery established less than a century ago far from what most would consider the world’s classic wine regions, particularly when this short lifespan has been punctuated by prolonged periods of war and civil strife. A combination of superb Bekaa Valley vineyards, tended organically, a hands off approach in the winery and an utter conviction on the part of successive Hochar winemakers

have allowed this rise to prominence. The wines of Chateau Musar are truly unlike any others on Earth. Upon release both whites and reds unveil layer after layer complexity which develop with each passing decade. This perennial MMI favourite sees a change at the entry level with the Cuvée wines replaced by the mightily impressive Musar Jeune range; white, rosé and red.www.chateaumusar.com

Typically Mediterranean in style, Bargylus elegantly combines strength and refinement: it has a strong colour, the range of aroma is perceivable through the fresh fruit and minerality that translates the very shingly soil. The balance between sweetness, that comes with sunniness and the grapes’ full maturity, and salinity that comes

with limestone, allows Bargylus to convey a strong soil identity and an inimitable taste. Stephane Derenoncourt, the well-known and celebrated Bordeaux consultant of Domaine de Bargylus, was overwhelmed by the beauty of the site and the diversity of soils, and has been working with the Saade family on Bargylus since its inception.

Turkey is a country of indigenous grapes. Estimates range between 600-1200 existing different varieties. In Cappadocia mainly two are interesting: "Öküzgözü" and "Bogazkere". The family winery Kocabag has been cultivating these and other varieties since 1972. The second generation has now invested to expand and

modernize the vineyards and cellar. Stylistically Kaya Kapadokia is located between a velvety fruity Burgundy and a hearty Rhône. Has a beautiful and dark red colour – coupled with fine exotic scent – plenty of chocolate,plums and a hint of wild berries. A true gem.

The story of Craggy Range began with the desire to create a legacy. When businessman Terry Peabody visited New Zealand in 1997, he was introduced to Master of Wine, Steve Smith. Terry sensed a new and exciting possibility in New Zealand, a potential he hadn’t seen elsewhere. The exceptional climate and the spirit of the people aligned with his own philosophy and desire to cut a new path. His ambition was not merely to emulate the greatest examples of wine styles in the world, he wanted to create new benchmarks with wines that would become internationally

regarded as New World classics.The two men made an important decision from the beginning – to pursue the Single Vineyard philosophy of winemaking – to select and source the best land and vineyards in the country, and to plant the vines perfectly suited to that soil and climate.

Felton Road is a small, artisan producer of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling. Established in 1991, and investing heavily in meticulous biodynamic viticultural practices (Demeter certified), Felton Road has quickly gained a reputation as one of New Zealand’s leading premium wine producers. The three estate vineyards are all located in Central Otago’s Bannockburn sub-region. The winemaking maintains an emphasis on natural winemaking in a gravity flow winery: practices such as whole cluster, wild yeasts, and an absence of fining and filtration are

hallmarks of Felton Road’s wines. From their first vintage in 1997, Felton Road wines flew straight to the top of everyone’s score sheet, with praise such as “Stunning Debut”, “Best New Winery”, and “Pinot Noir of the Year”. Winemaker Blair Walter attributes the high quality to the distinct Central Otago soils and climate, the north-facing hillside vineyard, and meticulous care of the vines, not mentioning his skill and wide experience as winemaker.www.feltonroad.com

People thought Tim and Judy Finn were mad when they planted grapes back in 1978. New Zealand’s wine industry was insignificant but animal behaviourist Tim was determined to pursue a future in fine wine. Today Neudorf is regarded as one of the country’s finest wineries. Neudorf sits on a hillside around Nelson, in the Moutere area at the top of the South Island. The tiny village is home to great wine, sheep cheese, olive oil, gourmet mushrooms and artists. The area boast NZ’s highest sunshine hours. “That combined with

our ancient gravel riddled clay soils give us a very special terroir,” says Tim, “the wine is made by a dedicated team. It starts with the vineyard, then the winery and through to the cellar door. Everybody is valuable and must bring an attitude of excellence. Hard work, and a healthy sense of humour help make great wine”. Robert Parkers Wine Advocate says “Neudorf is one of New Zealand’s top wineries......wines suffused with minerality and nervosite.”www.neudorf.co.nz

of an export boom as the country’s rich tapestry of

grape varietals become ever more understood and

Casa Ferreirinha was recently distinguished by the

prestigious “Wine&Spirits Magazine” with the award

“Producer of the Year 2012”, an award based upon

the consistent and high levelled classifications of

its wines in the charts of the magazine’s “Top 100

great ambassador of the Douro Valley”, according

to its editor Joshua Greene. We’ve added three

wines at different prices points, with the Papa Figos

representing particularly good value and being a must

try for any Mediterranean wine fan.

From Symington we have a refreshing and stimulating

addition, one of Portugal’s true cult wines, Chryseia,

is the result of partnership between the Symingtons

and Bruno Prats, formerly of Chateau Cos D’Estournel.

It is made from a judicious selection of grapes from

prime vineyards of Quinta de Roriz and Quinta de

Portuguese wine – a great example to blind taste with

Bordeaux fanatics.

Casa Ferreirinha and its wines are synonymous with quality, time and art. Thus it has been since the company’s founding in the eighteenth century by Bernardo Ferreira, whose formula was refined by his descendants, especially his granddaughter Dona Antonia Adelaide Ferreira, known affectionately as “Ferreirinha”. Dona Antonia’s values carried Casa Ferreirinha all the way to the present day and were crucial to creating and continuing this brand’s great wines as well as constituting a unique heritage and an unparalleled historical archive. Thorough knowledge of the

Douro Superior region, the features of its climate and soil and carefully selecting the varieties to be used also came to be crucial to the company’s strategy. This strategy, backed by 250 years of experience in the Douro Region, in 1978 led Casa Ferreirinha to acquire Quinta da Leda, located at Almendra, with its very modern winery which was completed in 2001. The grapes of these vineyards, provided the basis for Casa Ferreirinha’s premium wines, including the stunning Quinta da Leda.www.sogrape.pt

is also a realization that all farming practices need

to be both environmentally sustainable and socially

responsible, and South Africa leads the way in terms

of production integrity. South Africa has the most

Fairtrade-accredited wineries in the world.

A winemaking history of 350 years means the country

has plenty of tradition to draw on, but these days

there is a changing of the guard. The industry is

getting younger and witnesses a new generation of

quality-obsessed, visionary winemakers re-shaping the

have reached international prominence, if not

super-stardom.

In addition to record export levels, a healthy 2014

harvest, and the penetration of new markets, the

industry is also buoyed by the growing confidence in

South Africa as a top wine-producing country among

high-profile international critics. These include the

The Bouchard Finlayson winery remains a leader in producing world class wines from South Africa, in particular Pinot Noir. Growing on the slopes of Galpin Peak in the Walker Bay region, repeated vintages of this path-blazing wine continue to reflect a true celebration of Pinot-crafting, endorsing the Hemel-en-Aarde (Heaven and Earth) Valley as a jewel in the terroir search for excellence with this illusive grape. Peter Finlayson (one of the founding members of the Cape Winemakers Guild) was the first

modern day winemaker in this valley. The unique and individual vineyard practices are based on the Burgundian principal of high-density planting with low yields from the individual vines. 9000 vines are planted per hectare. This high density planting is unique to Walker Bay and improves fruit concentration, which is so essential to the making of truly great wines.www.bouchardfinlayson.co.za

The story of sweet! is one of enjoyment, friendship, family, good times and simply good wine. sweet! red and white wines are the new face of South African wines, carefully blended from premium varieties to offer simple yet sophisticated enjoyment. Beverage industry experts tell us the year’s most trendy adult beverage in the U.S. is sweet red wine. These wines are not the same as those made with grapes that are considered sweet, such as red zinfandel. Instead, these trendy reds are crafted with “residual sugar,” which increases their sweetness to a level that has some

wine snobs running for cover. But there’s no denying that people love the new offerings. Their biggest fans tend to be young wine or beer drinkers who missed out on traditional rules about what to drink with what; they’re looking for alternative beverages to pair with casual, highly flavoured foods—or just something tasty to sip. At the same time, older consumers are also finding sweet reds accessible, versatile, and delicious.www.sweeterwithsweet.com

Owner and head winemaker, Paul Draper is widely considered one of the best fine wine producers in the world and even a brief tasting of his wares demonstrates that these are very special wines indeed.

The Michael Mondavi Family Estate was established in 2004 by Michael Mondavi alongside his wife Isabel, son Rob and daughter Dina. But it actually all started 1919 when Michael Mondavi’s grandfather, Cesare, was elected to find grapes and winemaking supplies for families to make wine legally during Prohibition. Thus, in Lodi, California, the now famous Mondavi family began their foray into California winemaking. Michael Mondavi says, “When my grand parents moved to California wine country, they brought

along a passion for wine, food and hospitality that continues in my family to this day, 94 years and four generations later.” He and his father Robert had started the Robert Mondavi Winery in 1966 and Michael had been part of it until he started his own winery in 2004. Today, with son Rob Mondavi, Jr. at the winemaking helm, Michael and the family craft a collection of world-class wines at the Michael Mondavi Family Estate.www.michaelmondavifamilyestate.com

Grappa is a wonderful way to end a meal drunk

either as a shot on its own or added to an espresso

(in which case it's known in Italy as a caffè coretto,

or a "corrected coffee"). The Instituto Nazionale

Grappa, the body that represents most of the grappa

producers in Italy, recommends serving shots in small

tulip-shaped glasses with open rims, rather than

balloons or narrow glasses.
