Finca Montepedroso
In the heart of Spain's Rueda wine region, at an altitude of 750 metres, lies the Montepedroso estate – a place where tradition, passion and personality come together. Here, siblings Carlos and Pilar Martínez Bujanda produce a white wine from 100% Verdejo grapes that impressively reflects the terroir of the region.
In the 1990s, after working with their father for many years, Carlos and Pilar decided to start a new project: producing estate wines (‘Vinos de Finca’). Today, the family portfolio includes several vineyards, including Finca Montepedroso. In 2008, the family acquired 25 hectares of Verdejo vineyards in Rueda and began construction of the winery, which was inaugurated in 2012. Rueda is particularly ideal for Verdejo: the cool nights preserve the fresh acidity of the grapes, while warm days promote their aromatic ripeness. The calcareous soil and high altitude further contribute to clear fruit and fine minerality.

Viñedos y Bodegas García Figuero
The history of this Bodega is a prime example of those who do not let themselves be led astray, consistently and persistently go their own way, remain faithful to their convictions and who then reap the well-deserved success.
Château Raymond Lafon
Located in the heart of the Sauternes area, this winery comprises 18 hectares, 16 of which planted with 80% Sémillon and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The maximum yield by law is 25 hectolitres per hectare. The yields at Raymond-Lafon average only 8 to 10 hectolitres per hectare; in other words, one vine will produce only one glass of delicious wine. Over several pickings, the grapes are harvested one by one according to their level of maturity. In some years, this can result in up to ten selected hand harvests. This alone lets one appreciate the great value of this wine.
Roland und Karin Lenz
In 1994, while Roland Lenz was still studying oenology, he and his wife Karin were able to acquire eight hectares of vines on the Iselisberg. It was a unique opportunity that they seized, even though they were toying with the idea of setting up their own business abroad, far from Switzerland. They actually did so later, but that's another story…
