PORTRAIT A. CHRISTMANN ESTATE
Weingut A. Christman is a real family winery. With Fritz, Steffen and Sophie who entered in 2018, after her studies and internships abroad, the 6th, 7th and 8th generation are working together in the estate. Each generation has its own challenges and priorities, but all share the same understanding of the winemaker‘s life: work and everyday life are determined by nature. The focus is always on the vine. Together with their team the Christmanns strive for perfection. Therefore, they are pursuing the ideal size of the estate, which allows to personally accompany all decisive moments of the production and to concentrate their strength on
what is important: their vineyards in the best sites. Little by little, vineyards were passed along so that Christmann Estate can say today: 100% VDP.ERSTE AND VDP. GROSSE LAGE. This also means that they limit themselves to the grape varieties that produce the finest wines in the region: Riesling and Pinot Noir, on par with the best wines in the world. The estate is following organic and biodynamic farming for over 18 years. Therefore, the soils are full of life and the roots grow deeper. The vineyards have reached their balance. The vines grow only as many grapes as they can nourish. This allows to harvest healthy grapes year after year in several passages.

Her personal style articulates itself in expressing the typicity of the estate’s slate soils and steep vineyard sites, creating wines of great finesse and elegance.
IN 2011, RUI ROBREDO
Madeira returned to the same winery where he worked his first harvest in 1987, in a small winery located in the village of Vermiosa in the highest vineyards in Portugal. Through painstaking effort, he rehabilitated the property
because he believed that this region’s winemaking heritage is one of the best hidden treasures in Portuguese wine. Old vines of native grape varieties have perfectly adapted to the rugged climate caused by the high altitude, along with the soil, where
many veins of quartz run through the schist and granite. Through Beyra wines, Madeira seeks to express the Beira Interior’s true identity: wines of great complexity resulting from the combination of aromatic intensity, minerality and freshness.

THE KAMPTAL VILLAGE
of Zöbing, with some 700 inhabitants, has been home to our estate for more than sixty years, located right at the point where the river Kamp leaves the narrow valley of the Waldviertel (coming out of the woods, so to speak), and flows south. The nearby Heiligenstein and Kogelberg certainly set
a romantic scene, but more importantly provide the soils and elevation ideally suited to cultivation of the vine. During the night, north winds cool the vineyards, while during the day we couldn’t ask for finer sunshine to warm our hillsides and terraces.

We want to offer the world a great quality Lambrusco, which is respectful of tradition but also symbols of energy and lightheartedness.
CANTINA DI SORBARA
OUR HISTORY
stretches way back, to when time was marked by the passing of the seasons, and the farmworkers of the countryside of Alghero had nothing to rely on but the soil and their own ingenuity. It is a story that speaks of the ability to trust one another, and of the desire to build something great, without forgetting how much beauty and how much value are hidden away in what surrounds us: endless plains facing out to sea, sheltered by a cove between the Gulf of Alghero and the Bay of Porto Conte. These are fortunate lands, caressed by the wind and kissed by the sun. It is a story that speaks of the precious lessons learned through daily toil. This story,
our story, starts very long ago and lasts all the way to today. It all began in 1946, in the Nurra area, which had been reclaimed and given to the farmworkers following the Agrarian Reform that was implemented in Sardinia in the immediate post-war period. The locals were blessed with skilled, courageous hands that had the capacity to capture the soul of a part of the island that seems to have been designed for winemaking. And so, in 1959, one hundred of them decided to enter into a co-operative and to found the Cantina Santa Maria la Palma (Santa Maria la Palma Winery).
Today, past and future are being combined seamlessly through the new technologies deployed in every project put

700 hectares of land on the estate are under vine, giving rise to a wealth of highly nuanced Sardinian wines, all made with the same passion and dedication as always, while also taking advantage of everything that state-of-theart technology has to offer.
The dedication to quality is the thread that runs throughout our history: selecting methods and techniques to produce the finest grapes, enhancing and protecting the soil – all with a view to exceeding our consumers’ expectations and to being worthy inheritors of this noble tradition that we are carrying forward.

Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts and takes place in 40 hl oak conical vats, where temperature is partially controlled. At the end of this phase, which generally lasts 15 days or, in the case of Amarone, one month, and after racking, the wines are all aged in wood, with the exception of Soave.

The vineyard is located on an old riverbed close to the Blenhiem township at approximately 8 miles from the sea. The river that used to flood across the valley floor has left a deep alluvial base of stones, river sand and silts making the site geologically young and free draining. This vineyard is
influenced by the cooling breezes off the Pacific Ocean and warm winds coming down the main river valley in the late afternoon. These soils, combined with a classically cool climate and low rainfall, produce grapes with moderate sugars, bright acidity and beautifully complex wines.

“ Sedimentary soils and wide temperature-swings between warm days and cool nights provide Landhaus Mayer with the perfect conditions for producing complex wines.”
ESTABLISHED IN 2012 AS A BRAND TO COMPLIMENT Mayer am Pfarrplatz in its restaurants, Landhaus Mayer has rapidly grown to represent some of the best classic varietal expressions of Lower Austria today at a great price point. Sourced from some of the best sites throughout the Weinviertel and Carnuntum, the goal is to find the best expression of Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, and Zweigelt. This selection gives an authentic taste of the namesake varietals of Austria, but also a tremendous value of what this country can offer. Many of the vineyards are from older vines from some of the most traditional villages in both wine-growing areas.

Today, Katharina Tinnacher and her family cultivate 27 hectares of vineyard, which thrive at the ideal elevation of 400–500 meters on the most promising steep slopes of Southern Styria. Concentrating on the types best suited to the region, they grow Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Welschriesling and the “white Burgundian varieties”—Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris.

Our techniques focus on developing quality in the vineyard: particular attention to pruning, canopy-management, crop-thinning and highly selective harvesting by hand enable us to put wines in the bottle that reflect the living soul of the sunny Wachau.” — KARL LAGLER
THE LAGLER FAMILY HAS lived on this beautiful estate in the Rote Tor Gasse since 1789. In the late 1970s, the Laglers stopped restricting their activities to solely grape-growing and began working their fruit into wine instead of selling it off. Almost from the start, Karl Lagler began producing
top-class, fruit-driven wines from his vineyards situated in the finest sites that the western Wachau town of Spitz has to offer: Steinborz, Tausendeimerberg and Burgberg, where old vines are tended with natural farming techniques and other measures focused upon quality and sustainability, yielding excellent results.
All of Lagler’s work in the vineyard, including the harvest, is done by hand. Today the Laglers are known as one of the most charismatic families in the Wachau, and their wines command respect at the finest restaurants worldwide.

“
The annual rebirth of the vines is both a challenge and my passion” — JOSEF MANTLER
IT IS AS IF SEPP MANTLER AND FAMILY WERE literally rooted to the soil. Their commitment to the vineyard, the growth of the vines and the cellar is an annual rebirth driven by the challenge of weather, soil, and passion. The Mantlerhof winery has been an active farm for over 600 years, when it under the ownership of the Styrian Admont Monastery. It is here, nestled directly below the terraces that rise above Gedersdorf, that the Mantlerhof winery has forged a path cultivating Roter Veltliner, Neuburger and expressing some of the most historic and qualitative sites of Grüner Veltliner and Riesling primarily on löss soils. Organic farming has been a staple and precedent for over 30 years.

THIS TRADITIONAL ESTATE ON THE PFARRPLATZ IN Vienna’s 19th District has been in operation since 1683, vinifying wines that were instrumental in establishing Vienna’s reputation as the city whose very name stands for wine. In 1817, composer Ludwig van Beethoven moved into the first floor flat on the Pfarrplatz and began to compose his legendary Ninth Symphony. In contrast with the German import Beethoven, Mayer’s vineyards are planted to traditional indigenous Austrian grape varieties, Grüner Veltliner and Riesling among them. Their top vineyards are nestled in prime sites on the mineral-laden hills surrounding the capital city. The estate is best known and most renowned for its classic ‘Wiener Gemischter Satz.’ This specialty is made by collectively harvesting Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Rotgipfler and Zierfandler that have grown together in the same vineyard, subsequently pressing and fermenting them together as well. The wine marries the characteristics of several distinctive grape varieties, harmonious in its unique aromas and flavors.
“
As a farmer you are responsible for a little piece of earth. You have to keep it, or better, you should improve it for the next generation.”
— THORSTEN MELSHEIMER
FOR FIVE GENERATIONS — NEARLY 200 YEARS — the Melsheimers have been growing fine Riesling on the steep slopes around the village of Reil in Germany’s famous Mosel River valley. Today Thorsten Melsheimer manages the classic family estate, supported by wife Stefanie, his parents and his three children. Some fifty percent of the vineyard holdings are classified as Steilstlage – the steepest. Very small and intimate, wall-supported vineyards planted in slate soils, certified as a historical cultural landscape; only five percent of the Mosel’s vineyards can claim this distinguished classification. Here they grow exclusively Riesling. The Mosel valley has been famous for this varietal for centuries, and the true aficionado knows that this is most likely its purest expression. Lots of detailed hard work and unquenchable enthusiasm are required for this. Each new vintage is a gift of nature.

RIOJA BORDÓN IS an iconic wine produced by Bodegas Franco-Españolas, one of the great wineries in La Rioja region of Spain. With nearly 125 years of history it occupies a foremost position in the world of winemaking. Throughout its storied history, the winery has hosted a number of dignitaries ranging from Spain’s King Alfonso XIII Ernest Hemingway. Committed to progress and renewal, Bodegas Franco-Españolas is no stranger to evolution and currently embodies the perfect combination
of respect for tradition and technological innovation, thus producing great wines that endorse its long history.
Bodegas Franco-Españolas was founded in 1890 thanks to the golden age that Rioja experienced in the 19th Century, when the French, whose vineyards were agonising under the attack of the phylloxera plague, came to the region in search of replacement vineyards. This marked the beginning of the development of “fine Rioja wines.” All this led to the founding of “Bodegas Franco-Españolas” in 1890
