2 Yealands, Marlborough, New Zealand According to conventional wisdom, you weren t supposed to be able to plant vineyards in the rugged foothills of the Awatere Valley. Thankfully, Peter Yealands saw beyond conventional wisdom. Given the scale of the undertaking, it s apt that Peter s vision also encompassed the foundation of a business that sets a gold standard in terms of sustainability, from its carbon neutral winery to the widespread adoption of low-impact winemaking methods. Of course, a remarkable vineyard and a green approach don t guarantee success, but this is arguably the Southern Hemisphere s finest all-round producer of aromatic white wines. McLaren Vale, d Arenberg Family-owned d Arenberg is located in the breathtaking McLaren Vale in South Australia, and produces an enviable range of wines. From humble beginnings, these wines quickly gained cult status amongst imbibers and judges alike it s a deft combination of winemaking tradition and vinous innovation. A tall order for some, but one that d Arenberg takes in their stride as they continue to push the boundaries of winemaking.
