history & PhilosophyLocated in the heart of the Alentejo region, the Herdade do Esporão Estate was established in1267. Having passed through various families and Counts of the region, the property has beenowned by the Roquette family since 1973. Their first wine was bottled in 1985.

Herdade do Esporão are keen to preserve what is genuine and traditional, but seek to combine thiswith innovation. At the heart of all their projects is the preservation of the environment and biodiversity.

Wine production is overseen by the well respected and highly experienced winemaker DavidBaverstock, who is at the forefront of modern Portuguese winemaking. His philosophy is to createauthentic and exciting wines, taking full advantage of Portuguese heritage and grape diversity andcombining it with a contemporary approach.

Vineyard & climateHerdade do Esporão is characterised by the diversity of its volcanic and schist soils. Warmed by theAlentejo sun, which is tempered by cool Atlantic breezes, the Estate stretches for over 1800 hectaresand includes 500 hectares of vineyards and 82 hectares of olive trees.

Sustainable production methods are used throughout and a large area of vineyards is currentlybeing converted to organic production. Currently there are 208 grape varieties planted at Herdadedo Esporão, of which 31 account for 98% of the total production.

sustainability and BiodiversityEsporão aim to adapt all agricultural activity to organic methods in the next five years. Currentlyintegrated pest management and better agricultural methods are achieved by gathering data fromweather stations, soil humidity sensors and using fully automated irrigation systems. There areapproximately 100 soil profilers installed to assess the level of water in the soil. Irrigation is thenadjusted to cause the plant to experience water stress during the grape’s growth phase, thusachieving lower but higher-quality yields. Herdade do Esporão have also created a manmade damknown as the Caridade dam which further enables effective irrigation systems for the vines andhas attracted new wildlife to the estate. There are now over 111 different species of animals onthe estate including wild pigs, foxes, deer, corkscrew tails, otters, wild cats, hares, rabbits and ahuge variety of birds.

experimentation & commitment to indigenous VarietiesEsporão was the first wine company in the world to sign the “Countdown 2010” initiative, withone of their commitments being to encourage and protect the cultivation of a wide range of originalgenetic grape varieties to help discover alternative solutions for the future. Their AmpelographicField (lab-vineyard) is testament to this commitment. This 9 hectare vineyard is planted with acollection of over 200 Portuguese, and some foreign, grape varieties, which are in danger ofbecoming extinct. This intense experimentation and collaboration between the winemakers andthe viticulturists results in wines such as the ‘Monocastas’ range. The constant trials and researchin to how each variety responds in different soils and micro-climates results in very small quantitiesof unique, high quality single varietal wines being made each vintage.

tower dos esporãoHerdade Esporão’s roots date back to the pre-historic times of megalithic cultures and the BronzeAge. However, even during the Roman occupation, the wines of Esporão were exported throughoutthe Empire.

At the heart of this estate, in the scorching Alentejo heat, lies the Esporão Fortified Enclosure,which includes the Nossa Senhora dos Remédios Chapel and a curious fortified gate, with a windingstaircase that leads up to the ramparts. The Tower of Esporão is thought to have been built byMorgado Álvaro Mendes de Vasconcelos between 1457 and 1490. The main purpose of suchtowers had originally been for housing; however above all, they were a symbol of lordship andmilitary power. Today the tower it is a symbol of Esporão.

‘castas’ rangeThe blends will vary each year, as the winemakers select the bestvarietals from each harvest, highlighting their unique characteristics.

QUinta Dos mUrçaswww.murcas.com

history & PhilosophyDocuments indicate that Quinta dos Murças existed as early as 1714. In the early 1800’s – 1900’swine was produced, but in 1950’s wine production advanced significantly under the guidance ofthe young agronomist José de Freitas Sampaio. He revolutionised the farm’s cultivation andvinification techniques, and introduced the first ‘vinha ao alto’ (vines planted on vertical terraces)in the Douro. Today the farm is run by the family owned Esporão company. David Baverstock, whois at the forefront of modern Portuguese winemaking, oversees the winemaking and aims to takefull advantage of the great Douro terroir and grape diversity, and to combine Portuguese traditionwith some of the most advanced vinification techniques.

Vineyard & climateThe 156 hectare farm (60 hectares planted under vine) contains predominantly indigenous grapevarieties, with vines aged from 15-70 years old, and classified as Grade A (the region’s topclassification).Stretching along 3.2 km of the right bank of the River Douro in Cima Corgo, thelandscape is inhospitable, rough and virtually untameable. Flora shyly sprouts among the rocksresting on stony and schist soils, making the vines less vigorous and verdant than in Baixo Corgo.The climate is more severe here than in the other Douro sub-regions: 9 months of cold and 3months of intense heat. The Quinta’s winery is typical of the region with traditional ‘lagares’ forgrape treading and fermentation. The winery has undergone complete modernisation, includinggravity fed operations for wines such as Assobio.

Assobio‘Assobio’ meaning “wind that whistles through the valley”, is aDouro DOC blend of Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional. Aromas ofspicy liquorice, cherries and dark chocolate. 20% aged in oak for 6months.

ReservaA Douro DOC wine, blended from ‘Old Vines’. Grapes arehandpicked and foot trodden in traditional lagares. Matured 12months in oak, followed by 12 months bottle ageing.

10 Year Old TawnyHarvested from vineyards with an average age of 20 years, only ‘A grade’ grapes are selected. A very complex nose with hints of fig,walnut and a touch of vanilla.

castillo PerelaDawww.castilloperelada.com

history & PhilosophyCastillo Perelada is one of Spain’s most dynamic wineries. It is still family owned and run, based inthe 14th Century Castillo Perelada, in the small town of the same name, in the heart of theDenominació d’Origen Empordà. Castillo Perelada is one of Spain’s principal Cava producers,creating premium Cavas in the Alt Penedès region of Northern Spain. They also produce premiumstill wines in the small Empordà DO – 2,500 hectares, on the Costa Brava, which has become oneof the most prestigious DO’s in Spain. Chief Winemaker Delfi Sanahuja produces elegant, excitingand highly acclaimed wines, capturing the essence of the region.

Vineyard & climateCatalonia forms the north-eastern corner of Spain and borders France alongside the Pyreneesmountain range. It includes nine Denominació d’Origen, including DO Penèdes, where CastilloPerelada controls 300 hectares of vineyards at high altitude, and the soil and climate are ideallysuited to the production of grapes for Cava.

In Empordà, Castillo Perelada own 125 hectares within five vineyards: Finca La Garriga, Malaveïna,Garbet, Espolla and Pont de Molins. These vineyards produce exquisite single vineyard wines, aswell as the 3 and 5 Fincas wines that offer exceptional value.

ClassicMade from 100% Carignan grapes that are over 100 years old.Incredible structure, minerality and length

cims De Porrera

history & PhilosophyThe Priorat DOCa is situated in the most southern province of Catalonia, Tarragona.

The region was elevated in 2009 to Qualified Designation of Origin (DOCa) status. The only otherregion with this Classification in Spain is Rioja.

‘Cims’ is Catalan for ‘summits’ which reflects how the vines and winery sit at the summit of thePorrera village. Cims de Porrera wines are still made in the old village co-operative where thefacilities have been fully modernised to maximise the full potential of the region’s unique vineyards.Their focus is to produce only two premium wines which truly reflect the Priorat region.

Vineyard & climateEach vineyard is situated on the steep, rocky slopes above Porrera village at an altitude between400 and 600 metres. This rugged and steep terrain and the age of the vineyards (between 40 and100 years old) demands meticulous harvesting by hand. The vineyards are harvested and vinifiedseparately, and the wines remain in their separate tanks until final blending.

The combination of unique black, slate soils, a rich variety of micro-climates and vines more than100 years old, results in wines that are widely recognised for their exceptional quality.

history & PhilosophyBodegas Tobía is a recent newcomer to Rioja. Established in 1994, its founder and moving spirit isOscar Tobía, who comes from a local family of wine growers based in San Asensio. His aim is tomake original and distinctive wines which also respect their origins – Rioja – but with a modernslant. Oscar was the first person in Spain to create a barrel fermented rosé wine. He continues toproduce innovative wines which are highly acclaimed and rewarded around the world, and oftenused as benchmark examples by the Rioja Institute.

Oscar has undertaken several research projects, both on his own behalf and for the benefit of thewider winemaking world; these include the role of micro-oxygenation in winemaking, and thedevelopment of ‘smart’ vats where the Carbon Dioxide produced by fermentation is used to pumpover the must.

Vineyard & climateLa Rioja DOCa is located in the centre of Northern Spain, nestled in the valley of the Ebro andsheltered by two mountain ranges from the cold northerly winds and fierce southerly winds thatsweep over the Iberian plateau. The valley has many different soil types, including ferrous,calcareous and alluvial. Bodegas Tobía manage 80 hectares of old, low yielding vineyards, plantedin 15 communes across the region. This allows them to create wines of great quality, showing thecomplexity, originality and essence of Rioja and its indigenous grape varieties.

history & PhilosophyCastello di Querceto is situated in Tuscany, on the north-eastern side of the Chianti Classico region.The François family came from France to settle in Tuscany in the 18th century. Since then, theyhave played a vital role in the development of the Tuscan wine industry. In 1924, Castello diQuerceto was one of the 33 founding members of the Chianti Classico Consortium. Since 1978,the company has been directed by Alessandro François who ensures that the characteristics andpotential of each vineyard are reflected in every wine he produces.

Castello di Querceto is famous for its expressive red wines and offers Chianti wines at all levelswhich are classic in style, a true reflection of the Sangiovese grape with only a small percentage ofCanaiolo and no international varieties. In addition, the range includes two exceptional Super-Tuscans, a Vernaccia, traditional method sparkling and an unusually off dry Vin Santo.

Vineyard & climateThe vineyards of Castello di Querceto sit at 470 metres above sea level and extend over 190 hectares,of which 60 hectares are planted with vines and 10 hectares with olive trees. Most of the vineyardswere planted between 1975 and 1985. The 60 hectares of vineyards are divided into 22 differentlots, individually chosen for their specific micro-climatic characteristics. The entire harvest is hand-picked and yields are maintained low. Castello di Querceto favour ecologically friendly viticulturemethods, opting for very short pruning and thinning out the grapes if necessary. They have apreference for using organic fertilisers and fighting phytopathogens in a natural and integral way.

ViÑa moranDÉ, casablanca Valley, chile

ViÑa moranDÉ www.morande.cl

history & PhilosophyMorandé was the pioneer of the Casablanca Valley, where Pablo Morandé was the first to discoverthe unique attributes of the climate and soil. Today Pablo Morandé continues to be involved withthe ultra-premium ‘House of Morandé’ and ‘Golden Harvest’ wines, whilst Ricardo Baettig is nowresponsible for the rest of the Morandé portfolio.

Morandé produce four distinct ranges – entry level wines that are lively and approachable, throughto premium, interesting, creative wines with true varietal characteristics.

Vineyard & climateMorandé constantly seek innovative techniques, such as high-density planting, hitherto unknown inChile. This method triples the quantity of vines planted compared to a conventional vineyard, whichcreates competition between the plants and limits their growth. Overall, the same number of kilos perhectare is obtained but a higher quality grape is achieved. Morandé hold strong ethical values manifestedin their judicious use of water in irrigation, good agricultural practices and strong social responsibility.

The constant desire to find areas that best suit each grape variety has led Morandé to diversify theirvineyards between different valleys and therefore each wine comes from a specific, single valley.The two main Estates are Belen Estate in the Casablanca Valley and Romerol Estate in the MaipoValley. The other three estates are located in the Cachapoal Valley, Curico Valley and Maipo Valley.The winery is based in the Rapel Valley.

casablancaThe main geographical feature of this valley is the influence of the sea which enters from the PacificOcean and produces a morning mist which acts as a temperature moderator. This characteristicfavours optimal vineyard development, whilst also requiring special management in order to achievethe desired ripeness. The varieties that grow best in this valley are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blancand Pinot Noir.

maipoThis valley has the greatest wine producing tradition in Chile and is famous worldwide. It has atemperate climate with a dry, hot summer, rainfall concentrated between April and September,and is almost frost-free. The soils are alluvial in origin, stony and with good drainage and averagefertility. Its climatic conditions favour the development of red wine varieties, mainly CabernetSauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

house of morandé‘House of Morandé’ is Morandé’s iconic wine from the San Bernardo vineyard in the Maipo Valleyand their commitment to excellence is obvious. Each vine produces 1kg of grapes which is harvestedto make one bottle of wine. Traditional Bordeaux style winemaking is used with long ageing inFrench barrels and further time in bottle.

House of Morandé is a Cabernet Sauvignon dominated blend where varietal composition variesdepending on annual harvest.

VignoTo reclaim the heritage of its ancient vines and traditions, a group of traditional Vignadores deCarignan have established the first appellation from Chile – dry-farmed, old-vine Carignan, fromMaule (the ‘g’ in the ‘Vigno’ signifies ‘Carignan’).

Morandé’s ‘Vigno’, created by Pablo Morandé, is predominantly Carignan, with the addition ofsome Syrah and Chardonnay, aged for 26 months in new American oak casks. Due to a blend ofthree different grape varieties from sixty-year-old extremely low yielding vines planted in differentsoils, at different altitudes and different sun exposure – this wine is outstanding.

mancUra www.mancurawines.cl

history & PhilosophyMancura means ‘Guard of the Andes’ and is a tribute to the mythical Condor of the Andes, thatprotects the earth from the imposing Andean skies and safeguards the Chilean grape harvest. TheMancura winery is based in Rapel Valley, 120km south of Santiago, and sources grapes from fiveof the major Chilean wine valleys. Winemaker Jorge Martínez has created an excellent range ofmodern and exciting Chilean wines which offer commercial value for the off-trade market. Mancurahas three ranges, the Etnia range and the more premium Guardian Reserva and Leyenda ranges.

Vineyard & climateMancura sources their grapes from the Casablanca, Maipo, Rapel, Curico and Maule Valley,resulting in a wide range of nuances in their wines. Casablanca Valley benefits from the moderatingeffect of the Pacific ocean sea breeze and is well suited to Chardonnay. The Maipo Valley has ahot, dry climate with stony, free draining soils where red varieties, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon,grow well. Rapel Valley is warm with plenty of winter rain and is suited to Mancura’s Merlot,Carmenère and Syrah varieties. Curico Valley is characterised by strongly marked seasons and isperfect for Sauvignon Blanc. Maule Valley is recognised as a valley with the greatest climatic diversityand large diurnal range. This suits the red varieties, in particular old vine Carignan.

ZorZal, Gualtallary, Uco Valley, argentina

ZorZal www.zorzalwines.com

history & PhilosophyFounded by the three Michelini brothers in 2008 in the Gualtallary area of Tupungato in the UcoValley, 80 kms south of the city of Mendoza. Dedicated to the production of high-quality wines,Zorzal finds its expression in respectful, non-invasive winemaking, preferring fruit to oak andelegance to exuberance. Juan Pablo Michelini seeks to produce wines which reflect his admirationof the Gualtallary region. The brothers passion, creativity and innovative winemaking, createdexcitement from their very first vintage with several wines achieving prestigious awards.

Vineyard & climateThe Zorzal terroir is free draining, rocky, limestone soil, with chalk-streaked stones. Situated at highaltitude (1,350 metres above sea-level) the vineyards benefit from bright sunlight, but with cool,clean evening breezes from the Andes to moderate the temperatures and maintain healthy vines.Low rainfalls and steep slopes require drip irrigation from underground aquifers using the purewaters of the Andes. This desert climate causes the vines to stress and produce small, concentratedberries. All these features combine to make it an ideal place to produce grapes of the highestquality, with unique personality.

laGarDe www.lagarde.com.ar

history & PhilosophyFounded in 1897 by Jose Angel Pereira, the winery remained with his family until it was handed tothe Pescarmona Family in 1970. Lagarde is one of the oldest and most traditional wineries inMendoza and one of the founder members of the first DOC of Argentina. Today, third generationfamily member, Sofia Pescarmona runs the winery, with Juan Roby as winemaker. Lagarde onlyuse their own fruit to offer four ranges of wine from entry level through to their top-tier wines.

Vineyard & climateLagarde is located in the region known as ‘Zona Alta del Rio Mendoza’ in Luján de Cuyo and isconsidered the ‘First Growing Zone’, and best region of the country to produce high quality wines.The first vineyards were planted in 1897 and 1906. Lagarde own 230 hectares all located between850 and 1071 metres above sea level. 100% of the fruit comes from their own vineyards, whichwith their ideal altitude, produces wines with purity, freshness, acidity and good tannin extraction.The soils of the different vineyard areas are a result of the decomposition and disintegration ofrocks and minerals from the mountains. The alluvial clay, sand and rock soils are low in organicmaterial, naturally controlling vigor and yield. Lagarde use the pure mountain spring water fromthe melting snow caps high in the Andes to irrigate, distributed via an elaborate, ancient canalsystem, which pre-dates the Columbian Incan Empire. Lagarde was the first winery to plant andproduce Viognier as a single varietal.

history & PhilosophySituated in the Cape Winelands of South Africa the barrel-vaulted cellar buildings of EikendalVineyards form a distinctive landmark on the R44 route, positioned between the historic universitytown of Stellenbosch and the residential suburbs of Somerset West. Since 1981 the 76 hectarewine farm has been under the ownership of the Saager family of Zurich. The Swiss ownersrecognised the great potential of the area and wasted no time in modernising and extending thevineyards and the cellar facilities. Since 2006, winemaker Nico Grobler has been producing anexciting range of premium South African classic varietals and blends.

Vineyard & climateThe winery is positioned in the so-called “Golden Triangle” of South Africa’s red wine production.Eikendal have excellent terroir, with ‘koffieklip’ coffee stone and sandy soils with a good layer ofclay beneath. The close proximity to the sea of False and Table Bay provides a cooling andhumidifying effect, aerating the vines leading to less disease pressure, and cooling down the vinesat night. Extended ripening periods leads to better quality grapes and a reduced loss of naturalacidity. Eikendal take a minimal intervention approach in the vineyard, only using chemicals whenabsolutely necessary.
