More austere granitic soils, decomposed into sandier alterites. Notes from the Producer: Year after year, we have become convinced that this vineyard is very special, which has been confirmed by Pedro Parra's classification of the best crus of Domínio do Açor. We are also convinced that Cerceal-Branco (different variety from Cercial da Bairrada and Sercial da Madeira, this last a.k.a. Uva Cão in Dão) is a great indigenous grape variety from Dão. We try not to deprive it of its slightly phenolic grapefruit zest expression, which brings a deliciously contrasting touch to the wine. We work on reduction to also enhance the minerality of the decomposed granite soils of this vineyard, which is sandier, with more austere soils.

Primary Vineyard Name VILA ROMANA - In our region of Dão there are countless traces of ancient civilizations, dating back to the 5th millennium BC, passing through the Celts and Romans. Even in our domaine, where several Roman artifacts were found (exhibited in the Carregal do Sal museum) linked to agriculture, when the vineyard that we now call the Vinha Romana was implemented in the 90s. According to the archaeologist we hired to help us explain our past, Domínio do Açor was probably a Roman farm at the time, which is why we named our entry-level wines Vila Romana.

AGRICERT certified Harvest Method Hand-harvested Additional Harvest Notes Each grape variety and each sector is harvested separately, seeking the maximum balance between grape maturity, acidity and potential alcohol content. Other Vineyard Details Encruzado from Vinha Romana (0,3ha, 20-year-old vines), Encruzado from Vinha da Fonte Velha (0,73ha, 35-year-old vines), Cerceal-Branco from Vinha da Fonte Velha and Bical from Vinha Celta. SOIL: Granitic. Very well mixed between soil and rocks, more precisely between the silt typical of granitic soils and sand, in addition to quartz and granite bedrock at depth. Alterites (rocks highly degraded by the chemical and physical processes of weathering) between levels 3 and 5 predominate throughout Domínio do Açor vineyards. Notes from the Producer: This year, we managed to get closer than we imagined to making a great “ouverture” white wine from Domínio do Açor. We eliminated Malvasia Fina from the blend (we uprooted the entire Malvasia vineyard to plant a collection of old Dão grape varieties in 2026), because it is a flabby variety that, even in small proportions, takes away the tension from the blend. After selecting everything that goes into our single-vineyard whites from Bical, Cerceal-Branco and Encruzado, we make the best possible blend with these varieties for Vila Romana Branco.

These wineries are female-led. Dom. du Banneret We resisted for a long time the temptation to import any wines from this iconic but often under-performing appellation. It is therefore with particular pleasure and some pride that we present to you the wines of a vigneron who is as rooted in his milieu as any we have ever encountered. Jean-Claude Vidal is the uncle of Jean-Marc Espinasse (see Rouge-Bleu above). An engineer by profession, he has lovingly tended his pocket-sized domaine since inheriting it thirty years ago. A fierce traditionalist, he makes a wine that will bring tears to the eyes of any nostalgists who believe that Châteauneuf’s best days are behind it. Making just 500 cases a year, he proves that it is possible against all odds to harness the benefits of today’s climate to the aesthetic standards of yesteryear. Now, his daughter Audrey has taken the reins and brought a wave of energy to the enterprise without in any way changing the time-honoured vineyard and cellar practices. So you can continue to expect rugged, full-throated wines made from all 13 authorised varieties, patiently aged in used barriques and built to last. These are the opposite of the smoothed-out fruit-bombs that mostly pass for Châteuneuf these days. View Producer Diebolt-Vallois We are inordinately proud to have been appointed the California importers for this celebrated Côte des Blancs producer. Because she is married to Jean-Paul Hébrart, we have known and liked Isabelle Diebolt for many years. Presiding over an 11 hectare estate raised to prominence by her father Jean since the 1970’s (though they trace their roots to Cuis in the 1500’s), she is an indefatigable perfectionist whose vivid wines have won acclaim in all quarters. The majority of their chardonnay vines lie in Cramant (Grand Cru) and Cuis (1er Cru), with additional holdings in Chouilly and Le Mesnil (Grands Crus) and the Côtes d’Épernay. Their small plantings of black grapes are from the Montagne de Reims and the Côte de Bar. The juice for all their Blanc de Blancs wines is exclusively cuvée. With the exception of the Fleur de Passion, (their tête de cuvee), the wines systematically go through malolactic fermentation. The result is a range that stylishly limns the capacity of chardonnay to offer tautness, fruit and minerality. Drawn from a relatively small geographical expanse, the wines expertly reflect both the bracing particularity of their origin in the north of the Côte des Blancs and the rounder qualities derived from the vineyards towards Épernay – the best of both worlds! View Producer Dom. Labbé The Savoie region, hard by Lake Geneva, can barely produce enough to meet the demands of winter sports enthusiasts and summer hikers, but we’ve been lucky enough to secure one of its top estates. Abymes, and its slightly better-known neighbor Apremont, produce light, aromatic, exquisitely balanced wines from the Jacquère grape. Cousins Alexandra and Jérôme Labbé keep yields low to extract maximum flavor from this delicate variety, while retaining freshness and sheer pleasure-giving gulpability. View Producer Dom. Rouge-Bleu Now firmly in the hands of French-Australian couple Caroline Jones and Thomas Bertrand (she makes the wine, he does the rest), this little domaine just east of Orange is now set fair on the course originally charted by Jean-Marc Espinasse. The newly-designed labels signal the new régime, but the founding principles of organic (mostly bio-dynamic) viticulture, honest wine-making and excellent value remain as they were. Thomas’ recent visit to California reignited interest in these rewarding wines and they go from strength to strength. View Producer López de Heredia This family-owned winery makes highly individual wines in a style essentially unchanged since its inception in 1877. They grow all their grapes using organic methods, ferment using only natural yeasts and do not filter their wines. They employ four full-time coopers to make their barrels. Gravonia, Tondonia, Bosconia and Cubillo are all individual vineyards which have been in the family for generations. Patience is a family watchword, as this bodega thinks nothing of waiting twenty years before releasing a wine. Their “Crianzas” are aged like others’ “Reservas” and “Gran Reservas”; the “Reservas” as long as others’ top “Gran Reservas”. And the ultimate accolade of “Gran Reserva” is accorded to only the very greatest vintages. Rarely are there more than three of these in a decade. These are uniquely traditional Riojas of massive, boundary-crossing repute. Both red and white are capable of staggering longevity. We are immensely proud to represent them. The only rub is that the estate’s uniqueness has now become universally recognised with a resultant run on stocks. Even with the producer’s necessity to raise prices,the prices remain entirely reasonable for uniquely great wines sold at peak maturity. View Producer Paterianakis Established in 1990, this was the first certified organic estate in Crete. With its 4000 year-old wine culture, this magnificent island offers no shortage of unique indigenous grape varieties, which are what we have chosen to feature here. The winery itself is intelligently constructed into a hillside, which offers natural insulation and the valuable possibility to move everything by gravity. Giorgios Paterianakis makes an impressive array of wines for a modestly sized estate. His oldest daughter Emanouella is impatient to take over, however, and is brimming with innovative ideas, including the adoption of biodynamic practices. A recent visit left us filled with excitement and optimism for the future of this outstanding estate. View Producer Maria Hick Maria and her husband Manfred run this pocket-sized (approximately 6 hectares) estate near Spitz, in the western part of the Wachau. Her family has links to the property that go back 300 years, when it was owned by St. Peter’s Stift in Salzburg. Her great-grandfather bought it from the church in 1931 after the financial crash obliged it to cash out. She has quietly been making wines of exemplary quality at moderate prices since taking over and has achieved increasing recognition in the Austrian wine press. The vineyard practices are solidly organic : composting, eschewal of herbicides and insecticides, feromonal pest-control, and leaving alternate vineyard rows unmown. Using minimal sulphur (below 5.5 gm) is another hallmark. The wines are sleek and pure, but also show flashes of Wachau grandeur without excess. The prices are truly exceptional. View Producer Dom. de Bel Air This estate, which dates back to 1635, represented our first foray into the iconic appellation of Pouilly-Fumé and has proved a hit. With their three distinctive soil-types dispersed through their 15 hectares of vines, almost exclusively planted to Sauvignon Blanc, they make three single-soil wines in addition to the flagship Pouilly-Fumé. Impeccably run by the ladies of the family. View Producer Alain Geoffroy This impeccable producer of Kimmeridgean Chardonnay at reasonable prices has long been a mainstay of WineWise. Their estate extends to 55 hectares, all in the vicinity of Beines and points west. They also boast a fascinating museum of wine paraphernalia, including the largest collection of corkscrews that one can imagine. The founder Alain himself died in late 2020, but the estate is capably run by two women : his daughter Nathalie and long-time cellar master, Cyrille Mignotte. They suffered unbearable losses in the vineyards in three successive vintages, whether by frost, hail or oidium. As a result, supplies have had to be strictly allocated, and some wines have been completely unavailable, such as the Bourgogne Rouge. We hope for the best in 2022! View Producer Léguillette-Romelot The sleepy village of Charly on the very western frontier of Champagne, is home to a number of interesting producers, none more than this newly-discovered house. It was formed by the union of the two eponymous families in 1968, five years after they had joined together with other growers to form a co-operative in Charly. They remain members to this day, though the majority of their grapes are vinified in their own impressive facilities. Proprietors Laurent and Christine took over in 2000 and have always had a brisk trade on the domestic market, particularly with private customers. WineWise is actually their first American customer, and proud to be bringing their thoughtful range of diverse wines to the California market. The family, including the three children, are all keen amateur musicians – a fact reflected in the names of all their cuvées. The domaine covers 8.2 hectares of vines, which average 40 years of age, including a small plot around the house dedicated to three arcane varieties, called the Clos du Montdorin. The wines undergo systematic malolactic fermentation, and aging en tirage is longer than the average. We were impressed by the finesse and incisiveness across the board.. This is a house that exemplifies the strides being made by ambitious growers in the new era. We now have in stock a significantly increased assortment, so impressive are the current wines. They have divided their range into two lines : the “Classique”, made from the three Pinots, and “Cépages d’Autrefois”, which are based on or include the archaic varieties of Arbanne, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc. It should be noted that tragedy befell the family in the summer of 2018 when Laurent succumbed to illness at the unthinkable age of 45. Christine has taken over the reins and is showing great determination and optimism. This new assortment is testimony to her success. View Producer Castell d'Age This top-flight producer of dry, long-aged Cava is a superb discovery. With several geographically diverse parcels to work with, the resemblance to Champagne is suggestive. This is Cava with attitude from a woman-run estate that pioneered organic viticulture in Pénédès and is now certified by Demeter. After the recent triumphant visit to California of Olivia Junyent, we are happy to have several new wines from her to sell. Like Mestres, they use no giro-pallettes. Brother Josep is the impassioned director of viticulture and a fervent believer in bio-dynamism. View Producer Fílipa Páto There are few rules when it comes to building a portfolio, but one gold standard is that if you start with quality, you will attract more of the same. Fílipa is good friends with Alvaro Castro and Mário Sérgio (not to mention Heidi Schröck), Vasco Croft loves her wines, and you can guess the rest. This daughter of legendary Bairrada producer Luis Pato began by producing wines in the larger appellation of Beiras (and the Dão). She purchased a small winery in Bairrada, which she has now significantly expanded (by digging downwards!). Eventually, it is assumed, she will reunite with her father’s estate, but, in the meantime, she has carved a big international name for herself by dint of her strikingly expressive and honest wines, so reflective of her own character. Joined now by her husband, renowned Belgian sommelier Willem Wouters, they have enthusiastically embraced the rigours of bio-dynamism. They have been steadily buying up new parcels of land, all within 10 km. of the home-base, some planted to old vines, others being replanted with massal selections. The estate is up to 15 hectares now, with a final goal of 22. As you can see, they constantly sell out. View Producer Weegmüller Steffi Weegmüller took this ancient family property to the very pinnacle of Pfalz estates, as has been recognised at home in Germany but also now in the U.S.A., where David Schildknecht has paid tribute to the quality of her wines. Quite literally next door to the famed house of Müller-Catoir, and sharing many of the same fabled vineyards, she offered a series of pristine, almost chiselled wines that unite Pfalz spice and generosity with manic purity and length. The sisters Weegmüller (see above) kept some of their vines, specifically a parcel of 0.33 ha. bequeathed by their aunt in the Herrenletten, after selling the family estate. It includes notably their beloved Scheurebe and the vines that also gave rise to their popular “Drei Schwestern” Gemischter Satz. From these holdings, they now sell just these two wines, both rendered with Steffi’s signature panache and generosity. It was natural that we would want to continue working with these lovable ladies!

Click Here Singer Estate Page Wine Wise introduces Singer Baker Lane Estate Syrah and Viognier For the first time in its 30 year history, WineWise has added a California estate to its portfolio. Stephen Singer will be known to many of you as a ground-breaking figure on the California wine scene. In the 1980's, he opened a wine shop in San Francisco called Singer & Foy, whose Saturday afternoon tastings were the stuff of legend. I (Hiram) personally attended probably too many of them, and was able to encounter wines from the likes of Jayer, Chave and Raveneau for the first time. Equally importantly, Stephen and I became friends. Stephen was also the long-time wine director at Berkeley's Chez Panisse, whose list was something of a Holy Grail. He opened a series of restaurants to great acclaim, among them César and Table 29, as well as pioneering the importation of top-flight artisinal olive oil from Tuscany. In 2002, Stephen decided to complete the circle of his vinous odyssey by doing the one thing he had not done - grow grapes and produce wine. His innate inclination to seek elegance over power drew him to the cooler confines of Sebastopol, where he found a promising, west-facing hillside site totalling all of six acres on Baker Lane, whose name gave rise to the estate's initial identity. The Syrah and Viognier grapes that he and his long-time viticulturist and wine-maker Greg Adams grew quickly developed a reputation for top quality and were eagerly snapped up by some of the best-known names among Sonoma wineries, such as Arnot-Roberts and Scribe. In 2019, however, Stephen decided that the way forward lay with making less, not more wine. So he prepared to wind down the Baker Lane brand, which encompassed an array of excellent wines including several bought varieties, and he re-launched in 2022 as Singer Baker Lane Estate. Today, Stephen makes tiny quantities of just two wines - a Syrah (270 6-packs) and a Viognier (90 6-packs) - from the choicest parcels of his undulating estate, while continuing to supply his long-time customers with grapes that are surplus to his needs. Being an artist by avocation, Stephen also designed the striking labels of his new wines himself. Oh, and let us not forget to mention that he also cultivates a large number of olive trees from which he squeezes exceptionally fine oil. It is therefore with great pleasure and pride that WineWise announces its representation in California of Singer Baker Lane Estate. It will be apparent that there is not very much to go around.

PDA-VCB23 View Domínio do Açor's Producer Page Domínio do Açor 2023 Vinha Celta Bical Hailed by Revista de Vinhos, Portugal’s leading wine periodical, as Portugal’s Best White Wine of 2024, this is a taut, scented and infinitely fine rendition of a varietal which, if any doubters remain after trying Fílipa Páto’s stage-setting examples, can take its place among the world’s leading white grapes. Archaeological remains suggest that this vineyard was once a Roman farm, hence its name.

Despite being an early maturing grape variety that loses its acidity quickly and is therefore complicated with the global warming, this Bical from our Celta Vineyard is a mystery, perhaps due to the adaptation of these ancient clones in a very special vineyard. Primary Vineyard Name Vinha Celta of 0,65ha (3/4 of the vineyard planted with Bical in 1961, 1/4 planted with Jaen in 1990). Vinha Celta = Celtic Vineyard, because of the wood that touches the vineyard, with some stones configurations that could be from the Celtic presence in the area. SOIL: Granitic. Apart from a sandier central patch, the soils are siltier and richer, with finer quartz crystals. Soil Types Granite Elevation (meters) max 292m, min 288m Vine Age 65 years old Yields (hl/ha) Average 40 Farming Practices Certified organic, practicing biodynamic, practicing regenerative, certified sustainable; ECOCERT and GLOBAL G.A.P. AGRICERT certified Harvest Method Hand-harvested Additional Harvest Notes The timing for picking must be very precise, its our first variety to be picked, in order to keep the high acidity - alcohol - flavour compounds balance. Other Vineyard Details Pedro Parra classified Vinha Celta as a “grand cru” level, because of the quality of the granite alterites. Every year this vineyard delivers an incredible balance of potential alcohol with immense acidity and mineral sapidity. Notes from the Producer: Old clones of Bical (aka Borrado das Moscas) planted in 1961. Despite being an early maturing grape variety that loses its acidity quickly and is therefore complicated with the global warming, this Bical from our Celta Vineyard is a mystery, perhaps due to the adaptation of these ancient clones in a very special vineyard. Bical da Vinha Celta is quickly gaining recognition as one of Portugal's greatest white wines, more than just one of the best wines made from this grape variety, which is so difficult to work with in the vineyard and in the winery to achieve excellence. Very sensitive to harvest timing, it can quickly lose its acidity and tension and develop too much alcohol. It can also oxidise easily if worked in a more hands-off vinification process with low sulphur. The secret to what makes this Bical so special may lie in the old vineyard, planted in the 60s, with ancient Bical clones that are very well adapted to its conditions. And in a very reductive vinification process, using all the lees (which are of very high quality, thanks to the careful viticulture we are practising).

Domínio do Açor Domínio do Açor It requires a great deal for us to take on new producers, but sometimes the reasons are so compelling that it would be irresponsible not to do so, especially when they seek us out specifically. This is a very recent project (albeit the vines average 60 years) started by a band of Brazilians and Portuguese, all of them with exceptional credentials. Régisseur Guilherme Corrêa is a renowned Brazilian sommelier and importer. Consultant Winemaker Luís Lopes is someone we have known from our earliest days working in Portugal, as he got his start with the famed Alvaro Castro at Quinta de Saes. He also gave in valuable help to our own Antonio Madeira. And Resident Winemaker, João Costa, is a Dão native with impressive international and Portuguese experience. Last but not least is legendary Chilean terroir expert, Pedro Parra, who has mapped every square meter of their 11 hectares to identify the best granitic and limestone soils appropriate to the treasure-store of varietals that they cultivate. Considering that their first vintage was 2021, it has taken no time for Dominio do Açor to soar, like the falcon after which it is named, to the pinnacle of Dão producers. Hailed to the rafters by numerous critics, it has become an instant star. We have been allocated miniscule quantities of some of the wines, and no more than 180 bottles of anything. Much of this initial allocation was soldout on a pre-arrival basis. But the wines listed here havesome availability and are worthy of your attention. You don’t have to take our word for it : Dominio do Açor is a producer of the highest order whose wines are destined to be sought after and collected by all serious devotees of Portugal and the Dão. Vinha Romana.jpeg 1/18 Producer: Domínio do Açor Country: Portugal Region: Dão Date Founded: 2021 Download Info Sheet Property History: Dominio do Açor is named for land patrolled by a graceful and powerful breed of falcon, as drawn on the label soaring above the hills. The small vineyard is nestled in the Oliveira do Conde sub-region of Dão, a historic locale with granite soils and a perfect cool continental climate, once cultivated by the Celts and Romans. Friends Guilherme Corrêa, Luís Lopes, and João Costa took over this tiny estate, filled with biodiversity, in 2021. Native plants, berries, ponds, and giant stands of oak and cedar surround the decades-old vines and fruit trees. As soon as they could, the friends began farming biodynamically and making wine. Owner History: Wine-maker Luís Lopes, whom we have known since our early days selling the great wines of Quinta da Pellada, and who trained at Comtes Lafon,was an influential consultant to Antonio. The lineage of top quality is clear.

Schloss Ortenberg Schloss Ortenberg The Ortenau is a distinct sub-region centered around the ancient mid-sized town of Offenburg. The predominant soil-types here are granitic, with high sandstone outcroppings and loess. This estate has a fascinating history dating back to 1300. It is one of a handful of great German estates, such as the Juliusspital in Franken and the Vereinigte Hospitien in the Mosel, that are publicly owned – in this case by the municipality of Offenburg. Run with fastidious care by the young and dynamic Matthias Wolf, the vineyards are cultivated sustainably (think feromonal inteference instead of insecticides, organic fertilisation and composting). They were innovative in German terms by eliminating cork in 2004, and they offer employment to handicapped people in their vineyards. We have increased our range without exhausting anything like the possibilities here! With the 2016 vintage, they also have snazzy new packaging that highlights the soil types. 1/0 Producer: Schloss Ortenberg Country: Germany Region: Baden - Ortenau Subregion: Ortenau City of Origin: Ortenberg Date Founded: 1500 Owner Name: City of Offenburg, Ortenaukreis Vineyard Size: 45 HA Total Annual Production: 300,000 bottles Download Info Sheet Property History: The wine estate was founded as an part of the St. Andreas Hospice by the people of Offenburg. The aim was to support the hospice work which was mainly to run the local hospital and an old people's home. By the disturbances of World War II it became property of the city of Offenburg. In 1997 this wine estate got merged with the famous reserch wine estate Schloss Ortenberg which was within the property of the county of the ortenau. Today it is still under the ownership of the city of Offenburg and the Ortenau county.

Claus Schneider Claus Schneider There is nothing more gratifying in our line of work then finding good people making exceptional wine. The Schneider family are as genial and gracious a bunch of people as you could hope to meet and they make wines that are simply revelatory in their quality. Son Johannes, an old soul despite his tender years, has essentially taken over direction of the estate from his father Claus, and younger brother Christoph is fully involved, too. Most of their holdings are in the clay-and-limestone escarpment named Weiler Schlipf, butted right up against the Swiss border. The hallmarks of Schneider wines are purity and relaxation. The estate was recently hailed by the influential Gault-Millau magazine as being the single best value estate in all of Germany! In 2020, they started their formal conversion to organic certification, which will be accorded to them in 2022. The brothers have also developed a line of Natural Wines under the Haus Gupi label. 1/4 Producer: Claus Schneider Country: Germany Region: Baden - Markgräflerland Subregion: Markgräflerland City of Origin: Weil am Rhein Date Founded: 1892 Owner Name: Claus Schneider Vineyard Size: 13 HA Total Annual Production: 80,000 bottles Download Info Sheet Property History: The estate was farmed as a mixed agricultural estate for generations. In the 1980s Claus Schneider changed the estate to beeing a wine producing business only. There remain still some orchards and farmland still worked by the family or leased to other farmers. In the last 30 years the wine producing area was doubled in size beeing today a total surface of 13ha. The winery is still located in the 18th century housing in the old center of the village. The two single vineyards farmed by the family are Weiler Schlipf and Ötlinger Sonnhole both located on the Tüllinger Hill which has a total vineyard area of 100 ha. The Sonnhole is a south oriented vineyard with purely clay soil. The Schlipf has a South-west orientation and clay / limestone soil. The wines from Schlipf are our most complex and structured wines suited for bottle aging. Owner History: Claus Schneider was educated in the winegrowers school of Weinsberg in Württemberg. He then quickly took over the estate from his father in the 1980s. Together with his wife Susanne they've been running the property for some 30 years. Since two years Johannes and Christoph are in charge of the business. Johannes studied 5 years of chemistry. He then worked on year in Burgundy at Domaine Rossignol-Trapet where he received a BTS diploma. After that he worked for 1 more year in France in Alsace / Domaine Boesch and the Minervois / Domaine Courbissac. After his studies of economics Christoph recently joined the winery. He is now pursuing a WSET 3 diploma and will continue with the Weinakademiker studies. Johannes is in charge of winemaking and the vinyard whereas Christoph is in charge of sales and the management of the property.

Weegmüller Weegmüller Steffi Weegmüller took this ancient family property to the very pinnacle of Pfalz estates, as has been recognised at home in Germany but also now in the U.S.A., where David Schildknecht has paid tribute to the quality of her wines. Quite literally next door to the famed house of Müller-Catoir, and sharing many of the same fabled vineyards, she offered a series of pristine, almost chiselled wines that unite Pfalz spice and generosity with manic purity and length. The sisters Weegmüller (see above) kept some of their vines, specifically a parcel of 0.33 ha. bequeathed by their aunt in the Herrenletten, after selling the family estate. It includes notably their beloved Scheurebe and the vines that also gave rise to their popular “Drei Schwestern” Gemischter Satz. From these holdings, they now sell just these two wines, both rendered with Steffi’s signature panache and generosity. It was natural that we would want to continue working with these lovable ladies! 1/0 Producer: Weegmüller Diversity: Female Winemaker Country: Germany Region: Pfalz Subregion: Pfalz City of Origin: Neustadt,Wstr.

Owner History: The Weegmüllers has been living in the Switzerland in the earlier times. The family member Nicolaus Wegmüller, who has been a councilman, moved to Germany around 1652.

Maria Hick Maria Hick Maria and her husband Manfred run this pocket-sized (approximately 6 hectares) estate near Spitz, in the western part of the Wachau. Her family has links to the property that go back 300 years, when it was owned by St. Peter’s Stift in Salzburg. Her great-grandfather bought it from the church in 1931 after the financial crash obliged it to cash out. She has quietly been making wines of exemplary quality at moderate prices since taking over and has achieved increasing recognition in the Austrian wine press. The vineyard practices are solidly organic : composting, eschewal of herbicides and insecticides, feromonal pest-control, and leaving alternate vineyard rows unmown. Using minimal sulphur (below 5.5 gm) is another hallmark. The wines are sleek and pure, but also show flashes of Wachau grandeur without excess. The prices are truly exceptional. 1/0 Producer: Maria Hick Diversity: Female Winemaker Country: Austria Region: Wachau Subregion: Oberarnsdorf City of Origin: Oberarnsdorf Date Founded: 1699/1930 Owner Name: Maria and Manfred Hick Vineyard Size: 6 HA Total Annual Production: 30,000-35,000 bottles Download Info Sheet Property History: From 1699 to 1930 mixed agricultural with viticulture, now they produce wine and apricots.

The Abbey got into a financial crissi and had to sell the property and Josef lost his job. He founded his own estate in 1930. Owner History: Oldest family records date back to 1699.
