Glissade
Glissade is a Catalan winery in the renowned Penedès wine region, dedicated entirely to the production of high-quality cavas. This region is one of Spain’s most traditional sparkling wine regions and is internationally renowned for its refined, elegantly structured cavas.
The Penedès region is characterised by a Mediterranean climate with warm, sunny days and mild nights, which ensure that the grapes ripen slowly and evenly. These climatic conditions play a key role in ensuring that the wines retain their characteristic freshness and lively acidity. The often chalky soils impart a distinctive character to the grapes, which is later reflected in the structure, elegance and finesse of the cavas.

Today, the winery draws on the experience and expertise of oenologist Manel Martínez. Thanks to his commitment and dedication, he succeeds in crafting characterful cavas with finesse and expression from indigenous grape varieties such as Xarel·lo, Parellada and Macabeo – ranging from fresh, charming classics to fruity, lively rosé versions made from red grapes such as Monastrell, Garnacha and the local Trepat. Throughout this process, Glissade remains steadfastly true to the traditional method of cava production: the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, and disgorging is carried out by hand. The result is a quality that can be tasted in every single bottle.

Park
For many years Baur au Lac Wines has been Switzerland's exclusive importer of the sumptuous Cognacs created by Dominic Park. The story goes back to the 1990s when Dominic Park decided to leave his job as a wine trader in London to create his own cognac house with the style he wanted. This is summed up by a very clean vision of what cognac should be: insist on the best origins and a very precise distillation and ageing to give a high-class product in a modern, elegant bottle.
