The Huber family has wine growing roots dating back more than 220 years. Today the winery in Reichersdorf is in its 10th generation and is run by Markus Huber. His outstanding ability to manage the winery with sensitivity and consistency, both in the vineyards and the cellars, has ensured that in a very short space of time he has established Huber wines as an internationally acclaimed leading producer of the region.
Rebholz has 350 years of tradition in winemaking and has always steered clear of fads and fashions. Current owner Hansjörg Rebholz’s grandfather, Ökonomierat Eduard Rebholz, was the pioneer of quality wine making in the south palatine region. Father Hans Rebholz continued the philosophy resulting in making only dry, completely fermented wines as the style of the winery. Close to 100% of the wines made today by Rebholz are dry, and the estate is very non-interventionist.
"These are classic Rieslings..."Stephen Brook, The Wines of Germany (Mitchell Beazely editor)
Centopassi is the viticultural soul of those social cooperatives that, under the banner of Libera Terra, cultivate land and vineyards that have been confiscated from the Mafia. All the vineyards are organically farmed and are located in the Belice Corleonese, a site particularly suited to the production of high quality wines. The soils are rich in calcaire, and the vines are located high enough above sea level to keep them fresh and interesting.
Cantina Terlano is well known in Italian wine drinking circles for producing Italy’s longest lived white wines. Many memorable wines from the 1950’s and 1960’s ranking with the greatest white wines of the world were made here. Located in the heart of the Terlan wine-growing region and founded in 1893,it is one of the oldest Alto Adige coops. Terlan’s wines have always enjoyed a good reputation, as well as all the fanastic praise it receives today it also won the silver medal at the Paris World Exhibition of 1900!
"What is left to say about Terlano? That it is a world-class estate? Too obvious. That the wines have enormous personality? Of course. That the range is full of great values? Evident." Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2013
