Ken Forrester

Weingut Schätzel
The Schätzel family has been making wine along the Rhine River for the last 650 years. From the beginning, their goal has been to produce wines that recount their place of origin with each sip. The crucible of their efforts: steep red shale vineyards such as Pettenthal, Ölberg and Hipping, lend the wines a distinct minerality and sophisticated structure. “Give nature her space,” is the winery’s motto, and under the vaulted ceilings of the estate’s 800-year-old cellar, the wines are given the time and freedom to develop in full.

Castell'In Villa
Princess Coralia Pignatelli della Leonessa and her husband acquired the property in 1968. Located in the southern part of the Chianti Classico region, the estate is known for producing some of the most traditionally-crafted and age-worthy wines in Italy. However, it went a step further in differentiating itself from other producers by releasing stocks progressively into the market, once deemed ready to drink. This practice allows consumers to drink great wines, with a certain level of maturity.

Áster
Bodegas Áster was conceived with enthusiasm, wisdom and patience. To find the most appropriate estate, La Rioja Alta sought both the counsel of the old growers in the area and the advice of professors of viticulture. They studied and analyzed soils, grapes and climates in different sub-areas. Finally, Anguix, Burgos proved to be the ideal location. Their vineyards are at an altitude of 830 m above sea level, where almost 80 hectares of Tinta del País were planted.
