A sparkling jewel protected by the hills of the Marca Trevigiana, Villa Sandi is a Palladian style masterpiece dating back to 1622, and it is also the main office of the company. The Villa rises from a fertile countryside in which fields and farms, nowadays as well as in the past, pay homage to the local history. A vibrant stage in which nature and architecture live in total harmony together; place of delight and headquarters, the complex of Villa Sandi is an enchanting estate where man and environment are in perfect symbiosis. The entrance is an elegant alley sided by statues of the popular Venetian sculptor Orazio Marinali, whose works decorate also the gable and the backyard. The Villa, cultural heritage of the Trevisan land, is situated between the D.O.C.G. area of the Prosécco of Valdobbiadene and the D.O.C. area of the Montello and Piave wines.

New Zealand’s largest wine region in production and area, Marlborough is located at the north-eastern tip of the South Island. It stretches from the small port town of Picton in the Marlborough Sounds, to the east coast town of Kaikoura.

The long, straight Wairau Valley has the most extensive plantings of vines and the region currently has 58,300 acres (23,600 hectares) of land planted with grapes in 2010. This young wine region has won worldwide acclaim for Sauvignon Blanc. Marlborough is one of New Zealand’s sunniest and driest areas. Plenty of sunshine with cool nights and a long growing season helps to promote the vibrant fruit flavours for which this region is renowned.

South-east of the Wairau Valley, the Awatere Valley has a cooler, dry climate, producing grapes with intense fruit flavours and minerality. Both sub-regions have stony, fast-draining, heat-reflective, infertile soils.

17 Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodriguez

Producer of Basa, Telmo Rodriguez - Telmo started his wine business in 1994 with fellow Pablo Eguzkiza under the Company name of Compañia de Vinos de La Granja. Telmo and Pablo’s first offering was a wine they named Alma (soul), a Garnacha created from old bush vineyards in Navarra. The wine was a success, but this was to be a journey of exploration, so Telmo and Pablo headed south to Rueda. Here they made the decision to re-name the Company “Compañia de Vinos Telmo Rodriguez”; firstly to capitalise on Telmo’s reputation in the wine world, and secondly, because Telmo is not only making wine, he is working closely with local wine makers from many different regions all over Spain to create unique wines that he can sell under the umbrella of his company.

Pretty much all the vineyards at the time his company was starting up were being plowed with foreign grape varieties. Wine growing land was largely manipulated to grow major international and recognisable grape varieties. Telmo’s mission was to buck the trend and not only work with native grape varieties, but also breathe life back into abandoned or forgotten vineyards.

18 Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon Blanc is a green skinned grape variety that originates from the Bordeaux region of France, and most likely gets its name from the French words ‘sauvage’ and Blanc…wild & white! In these modern times we automatically think of ‘Marlborough’ Sauvignon Blanc, its popularity having soared over the last two decades since David Hohnen from Cloudy Bay dropped this new amazing zesty wine on us, and it had a screw top!

We can however, never forget the Loire & its iconic & Pouilly-Fumé and the now very popular zesty wines from Chile offering great value for money. Sauvignon Blanc drinks well on its own, or pair it with tomato-based sauces and foods with high acidity like salads.

The Pays d’Oc has a history of over 2600 years of vine-growing and winemaking. Over the centuries, the wine trade became more and more structured and grew rapidly. The region greatly benefits from the Mediterranean climate, bringing warm mist, and the Black Mountain which offers limestone and clay “” with cool temperatures.

20 Viognier

Viognier is the only permitted grape for the Condrieu in the Rhône Valley. Outside of the Rhône, Viognier can be found in regions of North and South America as well as Australia and New Zealand. In some wine regions, the variety is co-fermented with the red wine grape Syrah where it can contribute to the colour and bouquet of the wine.

25 Turi

Turi is produced from grapes grown in vineyards located on the Coastal Mountain Range, 14km from the shores of the Pacific Ocean, 25km south west from Casablanca and 95 km west of Santiago. This is very representative of the dry farming of the West Coast Mountain Range. In 1997, after evaluating the potential conditions of the area, important investment was made to bring water from the Maipo River through an 8km pipeline. At the present time Viña Leyda has 80 hectares of grapes under cultivation in the Valley.

26 Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Sauvignon is the progeny of & Sauvignon Blanc, and is the world’s most famous red wine grape. It is also the most planted of any colour. Its great distinction of the wine it produces is that it has a very recognisable aroma of blackcurrants wherever it’s grown in the world. If matured in newish oak, it can smell of cedar, cigar box, dark chocolate & even tobacco.

Cabernet Sauvignon grapes have a thick skin which translates to the wine and can become tannic, particularly in younger wines from Bordeaux. The tannins leave a dry taste which makes it a perfect wine with red meats and game. Softer Cabernets from Chile are great to drink on their own.

31 Domaine Machard de Gramont

Producer of Nuits-St-Georges En La Perrière Noblot - Axelle Machard de Gramont took over the family domaine from her father in 2004. Since then, the quality of the wines and the reputation of the domaine have increased exponentially from year to year. Axelle was not originally planning to be a winemaker, and so she is influenced not only by her experience growing up in Burgundy, but also from a decade living away from the domaine, which gives her the rare perspective of both an insider and an outsider. Since returning to the d’Or, Axelle has fully and completely embraced the life of the vigneronne, learning each of her vineyards by heart, and dedicated herself to making exceptional Burgundy.

She converted to thr domaine to organic viticulture, and taking a minimal intervention approach in the cellar. The result are wines with softer, elegant structure, that retain the rich fruit of the best Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. The domaine is composed of several village vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges - including the 80 year old vines in Aux Allots near the border with Vosne-Romanée, and Les Terrasses des Vallerots, which Axelle’s father Bertrand reterraced and planted in 2002 on a plot that had been abandoned since the late 1800s. In addition, there is a tiny vineyard of Aligoté hidden next to the ruins of the Abbaye Saint-Vivant, a beautifully scenic spot off the beaten path.

32 Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir aside from providing depth, backbone and added complexity is one of the three permitted grapes in Champagne. Pinot Noir is arguably the most charismatic of all grape varieties and without doubt the hardest to get right.

When it works though, it’s incomparable. No other grape has the same power of seduction; from its naturally pale and delicate hue to the charming raspberry and cherry notes it presents in its youth, to the gamey aromas that appear with age. From the lacey texture of a fine mature Burgundy, or the warmer, velvety allure it takes on in the cooler climates of the New World, it will guarantee a smile on the face.

34 Pinotage

Pinotage is a red South African grape variety developed by Professor A. Perold in 1924 as a cross between Cinsault and Pinot Noir, only to be largely ignored for the next fifty years!

The revival began in the 1980’s, Pinotage producing a plethora of styles according to the growing conditions, vineyard management and wine making, with an assortment of plum, cherry, blackberry and even the odd hint of banana. It also takes very well to some oak.

80. Pinotage, Avondale, Paarl, South Africa (Organic) 2013/14 - - 30.00 Sangiovese Sangiovese is Italy’s most widely planted red grape variety. Its home is Tuscany and the name literally translates as ‘blood of Jove’, referring to the Roman god Jupiter. Throughout Italy it is known under a variety of names including Brunello di Montalcino, Morellino and of course , which Hannibal Lector gave some adverse publicity a few years ago along with a plate of fava beans!

Both high yielding and late ripening, it was until the early 1980’s blighted by massive over cropping, however the quality of Sangiovese has rocketed upwards since then, and they are now some of the world’s most sought after wines. 81. Pinotage, Drakensberg, Paarl, South Africa 2015 - - 25.00

35 Longboard Vineyards

Longboard was born from the passion of Oded Shakked, surfer first, winemaker later, who brings a unique perspective to winemaking, or rather winegrowing as he prefers to call it. Longboard believes that great tasting wines are those that are true to the people and place that grew them. Thus, they extend the notion of “terroir” to include the human aspect, not just the soils, climate and weather.

36 Shiraz & Syrah

Let’s clear something up right away, they are both exactly the same wine! When Syrah (Sih-rah ) arrived in Australia from its natural home in France, for some reason the Aussie winemakers took to calling it Shiraz (Shi-RAZ ) instead of its original name, we will never find out the exact reason so maybe we put it down to ‘lost in translation’ and move on.

It is considered to be one of the great noble black grape varieties, due to its ability to produce dark, full bodied, age worthy wines. Often hearty in weight and texture with ripe black fruit spicy pepper and dark chocolate. 83. Suganella ‘Super Tuscan’ Eleanor Antinori, Villa del Cigliano, Italy 2009 - - 49.00

37 Rioja Vega

Initially started as the dream of one man, Don Felipe Ugalde in 1882, this winery has seen ongoing growth and development over the years. Don’s aim was simple, to be one of the country’s most prestigious Bodegas. Although his winery passed down the family line, it was through marriage that it became united with Bodegas Muerza, hence losing its identity.

Today it is owned by the group Principe de Viana who acquired it in 1983 providing investment in new equipment, staff and in 2001 a new winery, 10km outside Logroño, complete with an underground ageing cellar. The new cellars incorporated modern equipment such as self-weighing hoppers, pneumatic presses and self-emptying stainless steel vats. This level of development has allowed not only the fruit from their own vineyards to be processed but also that of surrounding contract growers so that it has been able to produce this range of great value for money wines.

38 Tempranillo

Tempranillo is best known as the dominant red grape of Rioja, Spain’s most famous wine. Until the 1990’s many Rioja’s tasted more of oak than grape, aged for years in small, vanilla scented American oak barrels, disguising Tempranillo’s own unique flavours.

The Bodegas then began to age their wines for much shorter periods in French oak, and also to export young (Joven) unoaked wines, allowing a wider market to enjoy the essence of this fine grape. Tastes include cherries and subtle leather and vanilla tones, the finish is mild, smooth and lingers with tannins on both sides of your mouth. Spanish wines are once again in the headlines for all the right reasons.

40 Zinfandel & Primitivo

Zinfandel also known as Primitivo, is a variety of black-skinned grapes grown in over 10 percent of the vineyards of California. DNA analysis has revealed that it is genetically equivalent to the Primitivo variety traditionally grown in Apulia in the “heel” of Italy, where it was introduced in the 18th century. The grape found its way to the United States in the mid-19th century, where it became known by variations of the name “Zinfandel”, a name which is probably of Austrian origin.The grapes typically produce a robust red wine and due to the hot climate in California, often produces wines with a high ABV of around 15% The taste depends on the ripeness of the grapes from which it is made. Red fruit flavours like dark cherry and raspberry dominate in wines from cooler areas, whereas blackberry, anise and pepper notes are more common in wines made in warmer areas and in wines made from the earlier-ripening Primitivo clone.

46 Champagne

Champagne is a produced from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France. Following rules that demand, among other things, secondary fermentation of the wine in the bottle to create carbonation, specific vineyard practices, sourcing of grapes exclusively from specific parcels in the Champagne and specific regimes unique to the region. Some use the term Champagne as a generic term for sparkling wine, but in most countries, it is illegal to officially label any product Champagne unless it both comes from the Champagne region and is produced under the rules of the appellation.

The primary grapes used in the production of Champagne are black Pinot Noir and but also white Chardonnay. Royalty became associated with Champagne in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The leading manufacturers made efforts to associate their Champagnes with nobility and royalty through advertising and packaging, which led to popularity among the emerging middle class.
