Vietti
Piedmont/ Italy
The history of the Vietti winery traces its roots back to the 19th Century, created by Mario Vietti. Only at the beginning of the 20th century, however, did the Vietti name become a winery offering its own wines in bottle. With 35 hectares of vineyards, Vietti expects to not only increase production, but having greater control over the vineyards from a qualitative perspective. Currado began making wine at the Vietti winery in 1960, following the death of his father-in-law Mario Vietti. Currado was one of the first Barolo winemakers to focus on single-vineyard wines. In the 1970s, Currado launched a series of artist labels that helped to redefine Barolo as a world-class appellation.

John Duval
Barossa/Australia
John Duval Wines is a premium wine producer located in the Barossa Valley. After 29 years as a winemaker with Penfolds, John Duval established his eponymous brand in 2003 and has created a range of wines under the family owned John Duval Wines label. Utilizing old vine Barossa fruit, the wines express the terroir of the Barossa and the hand-crafted attention of John Duval. A great thing for the Barossa is that we have the oldest vineyards in the world of Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvedre. Some of the vineyards I use of Grenache and Mourvedre are over 100 years old. We have no phylloxera in the Barossa, and indeed South Australia, so all these old vineyards are planted on their own roots.

Rodrigue Le Bouedec, Commercial Director, La Chablisienne
La Chablisienne, Burgundy, France
Chablis, half way between Paris and Beaune, forms the real gateway to Burgundy ’s treasure-house of wines. Since 1923 at Chablis in Burgundy, the meticulous care of the vine- growers working together under the banner of La Chablisienne has given birth to wines whose magnificence is amplified by the passage of time. These wines, coming from a mosaic of "climats", or vineyard plots, provide a pallet of emotions marked with a truly mineral touch
The winery groups nearly 300 winegrowers to produce the great white wines of Chablis. These wines reflect the utmost care the winegrowers devote to the cultivation of their vineyards and the commitment the winemakers bring to revealing the heart and soul of the wines. It is this subtle harmony between the grower in the vineyards, the technical advisor and the winemaker, which bestows on wines their much sought- after distinction.
