" +
" Bodegas Trapiche, located in Mendoza at the foothills of the Andes, is the most worldwide known Argentine brand. Keeping its pioneering and innovative spirit over 120 years of history has allowed the winery to become an unavoidable reference of Argentina’s viticulture and viniculture.
"+
" Trapiche is the richness of diversity. With over 1000 ha of its own vineyards and taking advantage of the different types of soils and climates of Argentina, it has specialized in obtaining the best fruit from every “terroir”. Its wines truly reflect varietals typicity.
"+
" The synergy in the work of the agricultural engineer and the enologist, both under the direction of the Chief Winemaker Daniel Pi, results in wines with a fruity character and great concentration of color and aromas.
"+
" When oak barrels are involved, the integration between the fruit and the wood is refined and natural. Trapiche’s complete portfolio offers the best option for every occasion.

Aged 47 Daniel Pi is a tall and apparently quiet man, with an enthusiastic character, marking a distinct style at Trapiche since he was appointed Chief Winemaker in October 2002.
"+
" Daniel Pi has been working for Peñaflor Group since 1992 and is currently the Chief Winemaker of Trapiche. Graduated in 1982 at Don Bosco Oenological University in Mendoza, Argentina, as Oenologist and Agricultural Industry Manager. "+

"+
" During his career he has worked in both public and private institutions, undertaking different experiences in both national and foreign wineries. It is a source of great pride and knowledge for Daniel having been in charge of viticulture and winemaking projects in most of Argentina’s viticultural regions, especially Salta, San Juan and Mendoza. "+
" Being in close contact with agricultural engineers and winemakers from New and Old world wine producing countries, Daniel is well acquainted with traditional and innovative practices. He ran very valuable projects abroad in the winemaking field, especially in the US. "+
" Asked about how, he will enjoy those wines, Daniel´s answer is quite simple. “With my family and friends, enjoying the typical country food such as a good asado (barbecue) with sweetbreads, goat meat and empanadas (meat pie), made in the clay oven. Nothing too elaborated, but something that will have the savor of authenticity (el sabor de lo auténtico), because it´s a special wine, made for a special moment.” "+

" +
" The shake roofed building tucked amongst the vineyard rows has evolved from a small winery with a few fermenting tanks and aging barrels to a state-of-the-art facility designed for the specific needs of each of the grape varietals they produce, but tailored specifically for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Zinfandel.
"+
" DeLoach consider each step of the winemaking process an opportunity to showcase the distinctive flavors contained within our carefully cultivated grapes. Every bottle of wine with their name on it is a worthy representation of the best effort from each and every person at DeLoach Vineyards.
"+
" At DeLoach Vineyards, they focus on small-lot winemaking, giving exceptional care and attention to its OFS, Vineyard-Designate, and Russian River Valley wines. DeLoach passion is Pinot Noir – the noble variety of Burgundy that demands a delicate, labor-intensive process to showcase the exceptional terroir and complexity of the Russian River Valley.
"+
" The diligence required to produce truly original, terroir-driven Pinot Noir is given to each wine that they craft, meaning that every bottle of DeLoach wine is a testament to their commitment in the vineyards, in the cellar, and to the people in its community. This diligence is exhibited in their use of French open-top wood fermentors for all of their OFS and Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, as well as their old-vine Zinfandel.

"+

" Greg La Follette was born in Europe, growing up with an old-world view that wine is raised rather than 'made'. After studying ancient Burgundian techniques at UC Davis, he continued on-the-job studies at Beaulieu Vineyard as research viticulturist/enologist with winemaster André Tchelistcheff. "+
" From BV, Greg went to work at Kendall-Jackson where he was responsible for gathering and disseminating the best and latest thoughts on vine/wine quality as in-house troubleshooter/consultant. "+
" La Follette then turned his talents to Flowers Vineyard & Winery, where he was the winemaker and general manager, launching one of the most successful small Pinot labels to date. The winery he built at Flowers is still considered one of the very best gravity-flow, gas-assist green wineries in the world. "+

"Pirramimma
" +
" Founded by Alexander Campbell Johnston in 1892 and has been owned and operated by the Johnston family ever since.
"+
" The Johnston family arrived in South Australia in 1839 and in 1892 Alexander, the tenth of thirteen children, purchased 97 hectares of rich farmland southeast of the then fledgling village of McLaren Vale. He named his land Pirramimma, an Aboriginal phrase meaning \"the moon and the stars\".
"+
" The vineyard soils vary from sandy, on the rise, to rich dark loam on the flat. Over 60% of the vineyards are planted to premium red wine varieties, including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot ( for Australia's first 100% Petit Verdot wine ), with Chardonnay the largest single white grape planting on the estate.
"+
" Pirramimma's dedication to fine wine making has seen the brand grow consistently over the years and has underpinned a successful expansion into export markets. Their cornerstone philosophy is to produce wines from grapes grown in its own family estate vineyards, thus ensuring that the highest possible quality standards are met, and that the wines showcase the unique regional characteristics of McLaren Vale.
"+
" Importantly, all wines are processed and matured on-site under Geoff Johnston's personal supervision. As a result, Pirramimma produces premium quality wines at an affordable price - a philosophy seen as the key to a successful future.

Geoff Johnston

" Winemaking at Pirramimma has been a family affair for well over 100 years and is now in the very capable hands of Geoff Johnston, grandson of the winery's founder. "+
" Under his guidance, Pirramimma has seen many significant changes, including the construction of a 3100 square metre naturally cooled rammed earth barrel storage facility, and the expansion of the land holdings from 97 hectares to 250 hectares, 180 of which are now planted to grapes. "+
" Geoff is a winemaker with a world perspective. He is graduate of the Charles Sturt University and studied in France where his strong interest in the classic Bordeaux grape variety, Petit Verdot, first developed. "+
" Geoff planted a small trial area of Petit Verdot in 1983 which has since expanded to over 10 hectares of mature vines. His Petit Verdot vintages are award winning, prompting the prestigious European wine magazine \"WeinWisser\" to ask.... \"is there any better Petit Verdot in the world...?\" "+
