In 2013 Philippe was joined by his daughter Isabelle (pictured above) who had just completed her viticulture and oenology studies at the Lycée Viticole de Beaune. Whilst Isabelle focusses particularly on the production of the domaine’s white wines, there is no doubt that her addition to the team has helped refine the quality of the wines across the board.

In Austria's Kremstal region on the Danube they manage their seventh-generation family estate, Salomon Undhof. Then once vintage is complete in the northern hemisphere, they fly south to Australia to manage Salomon Estate. Salomon Estate was founded in 1995, originating from great ideas and passions. The first being Bert and Gertrud’s love for the landscape around the Finniss River vineyard. Second, their enjoyment of great red wines and last but not least the enthusiasm they both have for diverse cultures. The wines here are produced off a single property located on the Finniss River, about 20km southeast of McLaren Vale, where the Adelaide Hills run into the Fleurieu Peninsula. The soils are typically gravel and sand over red and orange sandstone and the vineyard falls gently away towards the northwest providing ideal exposure, warm days ensure ripe fruit flavours while the cooling breezes which roll off the Southern Ocean in the late afternoon ensure excellent acid retention. Here, Australian robustness meets European elegance in a most convincing fashion. \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Salomon Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41292734038200,"sku":"9331748002232","price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/Salomon_Estate_Viognier_Amphora_webp.png?v=1718155786"},{"product_id":"domaine-coche-dury-meursault-2019","title":"Domaine Coche-Dury Meursault 2023","description":"\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra Rare - Collectable!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo further discount\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e - Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e - France\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e - Burgundy\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSub Region\u003c\/strong\u003e - Meursault\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eExtra\u003c\/strong\u003e - Cork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"#pro_more_desc\" id=\"more_desc_btn\"\u003eAbout the Wine Maker \u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pro_more_desc\"\u003eCoche-Dury\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e produces some of the very greatest white wines coming out of Burgundy, which have even achieved cult status.

Established in 1893 under the name of Chateau les Roches it wasn't until 1919 when Marc Bredif took over from his uncle, that the name was changed to mark the change of ownership. The ethereal Chenin Blanc from Marc Bredif remains a benchmark for the region; delicious, nervy and vividly sketched when young it morphs into an infinitely complex wine with age taking on characters of dried honey, lanolin and valvados, still with that ceramic-like sheen of minerally acidity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarc Bredif is a highly respected producer in Vouvray, which shares ownership with the de Ladoucette winery in Pouilly Fume. We recently showed four Vouvrays from Marc Bredif during the Working with Wine seminars and they were a revelation. They all showed great purity of expression, with prodigious ageing potential, and they are an excellent example of what Chenin Blanc can achieve. Complex notes of flowers, quince, lanolin, apples, and citrus are all integrated in wines that have refreshing acidity which aids their slow evolution. - \u003cstrong\u003eNegociants\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marc Bredif","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41774763409592,"sku":"63409592","price":38.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/products\/marc-bredif-vouvray-classic-loire-valley-1633573553.jpg?v=1658966364"},{"product_id":"sorrenberg-sauvignon-blanc-semillon-2025","title":"Sorrenberg Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2025","description":"\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eSauvignon\u003c\/span\u003e Blanc, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eSemillon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e - Australia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e - Victoria\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSub Region\u003c\/strong\u003e - Beechworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra\u003c\/strong\u003e - Cork\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca id=\"more_desc_btn\" href=\"#pro_more_desc\"\u003eAbout the Wine Maker \u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pro_more_desc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSorrenberg Vineyard was established in 1984 by Barry and Jan Morey and situated on the outskirts of Beechworth, conveniently near the golf course.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt’s a 3 hectare vineyard at an elevation of 560 meters set mainly on granite rock with a sandy loam.

These wines offer everything one wants in Burgundy but that is so hard to find - admirable concentration, purity and finesse combined with texture and balance that will see these wines evolve over many years.

The new wines are matured for 18 months in oak of which about 90% is from tonellerie Remond and 10% from Francois Freres as follows: Village wines, roughly 1\/3rd new oak and 2\/3rds of 1 year old; 1er Crus, roughly 50% new oak and 50% 1 year old; Grand Cru, two new barrels and one one year old barrel.

In 2010 Pierrick produced his first vintage to great acclaim (his father had previously sold the grapes to La Chablisienne). Pierrick has a degree in oenology from Beaune and after graduating he travelled the world, doing various internships to gain experience before returning home to start making wine and take over the family vineyards for himself. His cellars are built into the side of a hill in the village enabling much of the work to be done by gravity. Vinifications are done classically in stainless steel tanks with some of the Premier and Grand Cru wines aged in used barrels for a small portion of each cuvée where the wines undergo full malolactic. His oldest plot of vines is Les Châtillons, which was planted in early 1970s and is located just behind the hill of Grand Crus. This cuvée also has a small portion of barrel ageing, employed to great effect. The domain farms 1.1 ha in this subsection of Fourchaume which is located towards the northern part of Fourchaume, a top Premier Cru vineyard noted for growing on similar contours as the Grand Crus above the right bank of the Serein.

The flooding has deposited huge quantities of limestone, granite, porphyry and fine sand, perfect for growing Teroldego.  The second area is the hills east of the town of Trento, located 25 kms south of Mezzolombardo. Here the elevated Fontanasanta (holy water) estate is planted to Nosiola and Incrocio Manzoni on the rich red clay and white limestone soils.  The winemaking philosophy is best summed up by Elisabetta:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-5c59f2a98165f5c1683914d3\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘We do not intervene in the winery; nothing is added, but we guide the wine while paying attention to its needs.  Thus, the wine keeps an expressive spontaneity and bears the personality of its intense and live raw material.   In this way, we seem to bring into the wineglass the fragrance of the flowers from the mountain pastures, the minerality of the surrounding cliffs, the transparency of the mountain skies, the character of the people that live in these alpine valleys.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1549398709143_7421\" data-block-type=\"5\" class=\"sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image sqs-col-6 span-6 float float-right sqs-text-ready\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1694321311061_82\" class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1694321311061_81\" data-test=\"image-block-inline-outer-wrapper\" class=\"image-block-outer-wrapper\n          layout-caption-below\n          design-layout-inline\n          combination-animation-none\n          individual-animation-none\n          individual-text-animation-none\"\u003e\n\u003cfigure id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1694321311061_80\" class=\"sqs-block-image-figure\n              intrinsic\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1694321311061_79\" data-animation-role=\"image\" class=\"image-block-wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1694321311061_78\" class=\"sqs-image-shape-container-element\n              \n          \n        \n              has-aspect-ratio\"\u003e\u003cimg data-loader=\"sqs\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ab9b99faa49a1373924e073\/1549399253703-YZR266IBKUTV1JERU3GH\/foradori.jpg?format=100w 100w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ab9b99faa49a1373924e073\/1549399253703-YZR266IBKUTV1JERU3GH\/foradori.jpg?format=300w 300w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ab9b99faa49a1373924e073\/1549399253703-YZR266IBKUTV1JERU3GH\/foradori.jpg?format=500w 500w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ab9b99faa49a1373924e073\/1549399253703-YZR266IBKUTV1JERU3GH\/foradori.jpg?format=750w 750w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ab9b99faa49a1373924e073\/1549399253703-YZR266IBKUTV1JERU3GH\/foradori.jpg?format=1000w 1000w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ab9b99faa49a1373924e073\/1549399253703-YZR266IBKUTV1JERU3GH\/foradori.jpg?format=1500w 1500w, https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ab9b99faa49a1373924e073\/1549399253703-YZR266IBKUTV1JERU3GH\/foradori.jpg?format=2500w 2500w\" sizes=\"100vw\" height=\"259\" width=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ab9b99faa49a1373924e073\/1549399253703-YZR266IBKUTV1JERU3GH\/foradori.jpg\" data-load=\"false\" alt=\"foradori.jpg\" data-image-focal-point=\"0.5,0.5\" data-image-dimensions=\"400x259\" data-image=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ab9b99faa49a1373924e073\/1549399253703-YZR266IBKUTV1JERU3GH\/foradori.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/5ab9b99faa49a1373924e073\/1549399253703-YZR266IBKUTV1JERU3GH\/foradori.jpg\" data-stretch=\"false\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1549398709143_12083\" data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is our duty to convey with each bottle the character of the land of Trentino.’  \u003cbr\u003eElizabetha Foradori \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wines are naturally fermented and aged in various vessels according to their needs.

It was only in 1987, that the Comte Éric de Béru, out of passion for wine, undertook to replant the entire vineyard, and in particular, the famous monopole vineyard Clos Béru. His wife, Laurence and their daughter Athénaïs are now running the domain. Athénaïs was living in Paris until 2004 when her father passed away, and she decided to move back to Béru to reclaim the vineyard, which included the painstaking task of converting it to organic, and then biodynamic (now demeter certified). Her first vintage was 2005 and in the years that have followed she has become one of the most revered and influential winemakers in Chablis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe manages almost 15 hectares on the classic soils of Chablis, kimmeridgian clay and stones, as well as having a small negociant allowing her to play with varieties outside of burgundy during challenging vintages (2017,2018,2019). The Chablis of the domain is produced in a vineyard located on the top of the hill of Béru, above 300 meters. Its terroir was formed during the Kimmeridgian era and is mainly composed of crushed limestone and marine fossils. The vines are approximately 30 years old. The pruning system is guyot double shape and approximately 6500 vines are planted per hectare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrapes are handpicked at maturity in 10kg crates. The harvest is directly pressed – in a pneumatic press at low pressure. The juice is directly transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentations. All wines are aged for 14 to 16 months and are bottled without any fining or filtration. The close attention brought at each step of the winemaking process is the key element, which allows for low sulphur vinification or in the case of the single site wines no addition at all.\u003cbr style=\"mso-special-character: line-break;\" data-mce-style=\"mso-special-character: line-break;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--\u003e\u003cbr style=\"mso-special-character: line-break;\" data-mce-style=\"mso-special-character: line-break;\"\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chateau de Beru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48250407223480,"sku":"07223480","price":170.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/Beru-Clos-Beru_webp.png?v=1718325033"},{"product_id":"fighting-gully-road-verdicchio-2022","title":"Fighting Gully Road Verdicchio 2023","description":"\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-picked and chilled overnight before being whole-bunch pressed.

It is managed by Eduard Tscheppe and Stephanie Tscheppe-Eselböck. Eduard was influenced by his father, a winemaker in Styria, who imparted a diverse range of wine styles and a rich viticultural education. Similarly, Stephanie grew up immersed in wine culture, her father being the owner of Taubenkobel, a celebrated 2 Michelin star restaurant a short drive from Oggau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2007, the couple acquired the historic Vineyard Wimmer in Oggau, known for its long-standing tradition. They meticulously restored the 17th-century winery and its 200-year-old screw press, which had been dormant for two decades. The vineyard, free from pesticides and chemicals for years, was ripe for an immediate shift to biodynamic farming, now Demeter certified. Striving for excellence, Stephanie and Eduard focus on achieving a natural balance in the vines and handle the grapes with care to fully realize the vineyard's potential. Their 13 hectares of vines, divided into several small plots, are fermented individually, yielding either unique single-vineyard wines or intricate field blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe commitment of the Tscheppes to their farming practices is profound. With more than a decade of Demeter biodynamic certification, they apply rigorous attention to detail and a fervent dedication to permaculture, beekeeping, and biodiversity. The vineyards are a testament to their philosophy, with cover crops planted and rolled at maturity to protect the soil and seeds. The land is enriched with compost, grazed by sheep and chickens, treated with biodynamic preparations, and plowed by horse to prevent soil compaction. This labor-intensive and costly approach ensures minimal intervention in the cellar, utilizing a 200-year-old basket press, neutral Austrian oak, and no added sulfur dioxide. The exceptional quality of these wines is a clear reflection of the pristine soil and fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gut Oggau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48361590161592,"sku":"90161592","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/GutOggauTimotheus.png?v=1720661401"},{"product_id":"corte-giara-pinot-grigio-2024","title":"Corte Giara Pinot Grigio 2024","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe wine is straw yellow in color, presenting a light and delicate bouquet.

These are wines of precision, crystal clear typicity, and elegance, that will age classically while enabling tremendous enjoyment throughout their lives.

Like every other aspect of this iconic estate, the focus in the vineyards is on the long term, and the sites are being worked with the future very much in mind. The eventual phase-out of herbicides and shift toward organics is being viewed (quite rightly) as a complex, all-encompassing holistic shift. As we all know, it does not happen overnight, but all good things are worth waiting for. Tradition is often responsible for a sense of stoicism, a “slow and steady” approach.

Currently, the winery is managed by brothers Pablo and Vincent Chevrot. Their parents initiated the bottling of wines under the Domaine Chevrot label in the 1970s, significantly contributing to Maranges' recognition as an appellation in 1988. Prior to this, the region's wines were simply labeled as Côte de Beaune - Villages. The Maranges appellation encompasses three quaint villages: Dezize, Sampagny, and Cheilly. Pablo Chevrot, who once presided over the Maranges appellation, is an excellent resource for inquiries about the area. Besides overseeing the winery, he is also a founding member and Vice President of \"Les Aligoteurs,\" a collective dedicated to the promotion of premium aligoté wine crafted by skilled vintners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine Chevrot currently possesses 18.5 hectares of vineyards, comprising 50% pinot noir, 40% chardonnay, and 10% aligoté, spanning the appellations of Maranges, Santenay, and Hautes Côtes de Beaune. Some of their vines, planted by the current winemakers' grandfather, are as old as 75 years. Pablo and Vincent have preserved their family's legacy while also enhancing it, notably by transitioning to organic farming practices in 2008. Soil cultivation is a priority; they utilize two horses to plow five hectares of land. The introduction of seeded cover crops is another vital practice that enriches, aerates, and stabilizes the soil, as well as mitigates erosion. Various plants contribute differently: grains add structure, legumes like beans and clover capture atmospheric nitrogen, and cruciferous plants such as mustard introduce minerals and help aerate the soil. Organic compost is used in the vineyards, along with minimal copper and sulfur applications to address oidium and other concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"pro_more_desc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Domaine Chevrot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48758022537400,"sku":"22537400","price":88.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/ChevrotA.gif?v=1732235285"},{"product_id":"ten-minutes-by-tractor-estate-chardonnay-2023","title":"Ten Minutes By Tractor Estate Chardonnay 2023","description":"\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2023 Estate Chardonnay is a blend of the estate's top single vineyards, Gabrielle, Mills, McCutcheon and Wallis.
