5 Table 2 Tenuta Montauto, Maremma, Toscana, Italy Riccardo Lepri The Maremma is often refer to as the Wild West, both in terms of its landscapes and its winemaking. While in Northern Tuscany, the Etruscans were making wine thousands of years before, the Maremma used to be a wild, swampy backwater, and viticulture was only introduced to the region in the 19th century. Riccardo Lepri s family has produced artisan wines for nearly sixty years at the Montauto estate, nestled 200 metres above sea level on a clay rich soil. The vineyards benefit from a cooling sea breeze and large diurnal temperature. This unique microclimate coupled with Riccardo s practices of minimum intervention, hand harvesting and use of natural fertilizers help produce wines that are clean, fresh and mineral, showcasing his unique terroir with balance and elegance. 2/1 Maremma Bianco Vermentino Malvasia /2 Gessaia Sauvignon Blanc /3 Enos 1 Sauvignon Blanc /4 Maremma Rosso Ciliegiolo Sangiovese /5 Pinot Nero annual portfolio tasting 5

37 Table 30 Mount Brown Estates, Waipara, New Zealand Catherine Keith Lying in the foothills of Mount Brown in Waipara Valley this abandoned wine estate was only iscove 15 years ago and it is something of a success story. Waipara has a greater variation in temperature between night and day than more northerly Marlborough, yields are much lower, and this valley is fast establishing a reputation for quality. Aromatic grape varieties such as Pinot Gris, Riesling and Pinot Noir are perfectly suited to Mount Brown s small shelte stony site and winemaking here is of a very high order. 30/1 Mount Brown Riesling /2 Mount Brown Sauvignon Blanc /3 Catherine s Block Sauvignon Blanc /4 Mount Brown Pinot Gris /5 Catherine s Block Pinot Gris /6 Wild River Pinot Noir /7 Mount Brown Pinot Noir /8 Catherine s Block Pinot Noir annual portfolio tasting 37

42 Table 34 Gouguenheim, Mendoza, Argentina Patricio Gouguenheim Patricio s love of wine started at an early age when his French parents gave him a little bit of wine mixed with sparkling water. Many years later his interest and passion for wine led him to purchase his own winery. Located 45 miles from the city of Mendoza in the foothills of the Andes we think it is one of the best kept secrets in the Uco Valley. Situated at an altitude of 3,600 feet (one of the highest estates in Mendoza) there is a vast temperature difference between day and night, these unique elements together with irrigation from the Andes snow melt allow optimum fruit ripening and concentration. With the expertise of Patricio and his winemaking team the results are for great wines and considerable value. sparkling 34/1 Sparkling Malbec Rosé nv /2 Torrontés /3 Reserve Pinot Noir /4 Malbec /5 Reserve Malbec /6 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon /7 Blue Melosa Flores Malbec * Prices per 75cl unless otherwise stated, exclusive of VAT, inclusive of duty, correct at time of printing, subject to availability.

The conscientious nature to their production pays attention to creating luxurious wines that do not detriment the environment. Their focus on elegance over brawn is reflected in the finesse and elegance of their wines and the ability for them to age gracefully. The estate has had the same winemaker for over 25 years who produces the wines with cuisine pairing in mind, presenting his wines with appropriate foods from the kitchen where possible. Robert Sinskey himself is a native Californian who describes himself as an atypical vintner with the philosophy that wine is not an athletic event or a quick study but rather should be allowed to seduce you and evolve in the glass and bottle. 36/1 Sinskey Abraxas /2 Sinskey Pinot Noir /3 Sinskey Cabernet Franc * Prices per 75cl unless otherwise stated, exclusive of VAT, inclusive of duty, correct at time of printing, subject to availability.
