Markus' 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 as an internationally acclaimed leading producer and ambassador of the region, with a particular focus on purity, terroir and endless complexity. The editorial staff of Falstaff magazine expressed their admiration of the way Huber captures the particular Traisental terroir of limestone soils, cool climate and the River Danube: ‘It’s quite impressive, the way Markus Huber is able to articulate the particular “flavour” of the Traisental’s meagre limestone conglomerate soils and cool climate in his wines. For him, these elements of terroir translate as a matter of course.’<br />At 20 years old Markus became responsible for the family winery, where three quarters of the vineyard area is dedicated to Gruner Veltliner but his Riesling also offers an unmistakable expression of Traisental. ‘I am inspired anew every day by the beauty and the natural surroundings of the Traisental,’ says Markus Huber, ‘if I am able to express the unique nature of my home in the wines, and communicate this to the consumer – well, this makes me very happy.'<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/huber">here </a>to discover more about Huber and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>PFAFFL</strong></span><br />Siblings Roman Josef Pfaffl and Heidemarie Fischer with their 170 acres of vineyards spread across the Weinviertel region and around the capital Vienna, swept the board of awards this year, with a plethora of wines awarded over 90 points by the Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson. Nearly every wine from their complete range has been awarded this excellent high score by one or more critic! Their Grüner Veltliner Reserve <em>Hommage</em> was given an outstanding 95 points by both Falstaff and the Wine Enthusiast. All the wines on our list performed excellently, with Falstaff awarding 92 points to Grüner Veltliner Hundsleiten Weinviertel DAC and 91 points to Grüner Veltliner Haidviertel Weinviertel DAC and both their blends Wein.1 and Wein.2 were rated in the top 10 of the magazine Genuss & Wein Pur.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/pfaffl">here </a>to discover more about Pfaffl and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>TSCHIDA</strong></span><br />2015 is now the fifth year that Hans Tschida has won the IWC Sweet Winemaker of the Year award. His unbelievable consistancy in quality has won him a total of 40 IWC gold medals, 36 silver medals and four bronze medals as well as 19 trophies since 2010.<br />Hans cultivates 30 hectares surrounding Burgenland's quaint winemaking town of Illmitz on the right bank of Neusiedlersee, where his main grape varieties are Welschiesling, Chardonnay, Sämling 88 (Scheurebe), Muskat Ottonel, Traminer and Pinot Blanc. It is a place that seems to have been created to produce great sweet wines, with foggy autumn mornings giving way to dry sunny afternoons, producing perfect conditions for the development of noble rot.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/tschida">here</a> to discover more about Tschida and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>JOHANNESHOF</strong><strong> REINISCH</strong></span><strong><br /></strong>Excellent results were awarded by the Wine Enthusiast to the Johanneshof Reinisch estate in Tattendorf, in the Thermenregion wine-growing area of Lower Austria. Specialising in local grape varieties and traditions, the Reinisch family has its own vine nursery, cultivating indigenous grape varieties such as Rotgipfler and Zierfandler in their Gumpoldskirchen vineyards. Across the globe, there are roughly only 100 hectares (247 acres) remaining of these two indigenous white varieties, making the Reinisch’s offerings an unusual and unique glimpse into Austria’s wine roots. A staggering 95 points was awarded to both their Holzspur Pinot Noir and Holzspur St Laurent 2012, with the Rotgipfler picking up 90 and a selection from the rest of their range walking away with 92, 93 and 94 points. The region's geothermal hot springs flow under the vineyards and contribute to excellent wine growing conditions for finicky varieties and the Reinisch organic status and philosophy ensures the wine's expression of the terroir is at its most pure.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/johanneshof-reinisch">here </a>to discover more about Johanneshof Reinisch and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WENINGER</span><br /></strong>Last, but certainly not least, is the outstanding producer Weninger who owns vineyard sites in both Austria and Hungary. Considered one of the pioneers of quality wine growing in Austria, Franz Weninger's approach to viticulture and winemaking is based on allowing the vines to find and reach their natural balance. The impact of his biodynamic winemaking since its implementation, has facilitated an incredible and consistant drive towards quality, and his continual experimenting and pushing the boundaries of modern winemaking establishes Weninger as a winery of utmost importance now and in the coming years. <br />Despite having won the 2014 Gault Millau Collection of the year, Franz tends not to enter his wines for awards. Besides, they really do speak for themselves... Exciting wines with an equally exciting philosophy. <br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/weninger-austria">here</a><a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/johanneshof-reinisch"> </a>to discover more about Weninger and the wines we stock.</p> <div align="center"> </div>', 'date' => '2015-07-28', 'image_id' => '1368', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-07-28 12:46:26', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-07-29 12:21:13', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1368', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '962851494', 'name' => 'Falstaff Image.jpg', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'jpg', 'size' => '30283', 'width' => '388', 'height' => '253', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-07-28 12:46:16', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-07-28 12:46:17', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1325', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/07/962851494.jpg', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 1 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '29', 'title' => 'Piedmont Rivals: North Vs South', 'slug' => 'piedmont-rivals-north-vs-south', 'teaser' => 'As Decanter awards Gold to Tenute Sella’s Lessona, Piedmont proves that its aptitude for producing outstanding wines from Nebbiolo goes far beyond Barolo and Barbaresco. ', 'content' => '<p>Having to compete with its world famous Southern Piedmont counterparts is no easy feat for the lesser known Piedmont wines made from Nebbiolo, and as such wines such as Lessona, Bramaterra, Boca, Ghemme, Gattinara and Carema do not often get the recognition they deserve. Generally speaking they do not have the power and flesh of Barolo but instead tend towards a more refined, fragrant and fresher style with a lighter, silkier structure. <span style="line-height: 1.4;">At Astrum, we have adored the stunning wines from Tenute Sella for over a decade now and are therefore delighted with their Gold Medal at this year’s Decanter World Wine Awards for their gorgeous Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo 2007. </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Tenute Sella has been a family-owned winery since 1671, which now produces around 90,000 bottles a year from their 22 hectares. Specialising in Lessona and Bramaterra, all their wines show great focus, precision of aromas and flavours and are exceptionally ageworthy.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">One of the smallest DOCs in Piedmont, Lessona wine must have a minimum of 75% Nebbiolo and the remaining percentage can be either Vespolina or Bonarda. Tenute Sella’s San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is a blend of 85% Nebbiolo and 15% Vespolina from 75 year old vines. </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is the symbol of Lessona and its history; it is a hill which reaches the highest point in the town of Lessona, and has been planted with vineyards since 1436 in sandy soils with an acid pH, typical of the Lessona DOC.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Tenute Sella's San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is fermented in stainless steel vats, macerated for 25 days and malolactic fermentation takes place the following spring when the wine is in oak. It spends 24 months in 25hl Slavonian oak barrels and 12 months in Allier Oak tonneaux and the aging potential for this wine is over 30 years. 2007 is an outstanding vintage due to the long growing season from a mild winter to a summer that was not brutally hot and was tempered by cooling breezes and allowing the grapes to reach excellent phenolic ripeness and maturity. Highly aromatic and full-bodied, the 2007 promises to age beautifully. </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">"The 2007 Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is a beautiful, complete wine. Pliant and expressive, yet also intensely mineral, the 2007 is built on balance and harmony. The 2007 is generous and resonant, yet the firm tannins carry the fruit beautifully all the way through to the finish. Sweet tobacco, dried flowers and mint are some of the many notes that inform the finish. This is another great showing from Sella."

We are particularly excited as we have a second stand this year in the fine wine section <em>The View Tastings</em> and so more scope to show off our wines! Our main stand will take on the same format as last year. A number of our producers will join us for the fair and guide visitors from on-trade, off-trade and independents through a range of wines from their whole portfolio, not just those imported by Astrum. The producers featured this year are Sicily’s <strong>Benanti </strong>from the slopes of Mount Etna, <strong>Caldora</strong> and <strong>Cellaro</strong> from Abruzzo and Sicily, Barolo-producer <strong>Giacomo Borgogno e Figli</strong> with <strong>Serafini & Vidotto</strong> and their outstanding Bordeaux blends, and <strong>Huber </strong>with his gorgeous Grüner Veltliners from Austria. We also have Tuscany’s <strong>Principe Corsini</strong> for Chianti and organic producer <strong>Salcheto </strong>for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Piedmont’s Gattinara producer <strong>Travaglini</strong> and <strong>Verus</strong> from Slovenia with a beautiful selection of Pinot Gris, Furmint, Riesling, Sauvignon and Chardonnay. In the centre of the stand we will also have a selection of wines on show from across the rest of Astrum’s portfolio. <br /> <br /> Benanti is the newest addition to Astrum’s portfolio, joining this February. Their wines are excellent expressions of the particular microclimate of Sicily’s stunning active volcano and twin brothers Antonio and Salvino are furious custodians of the region’s indigenous grapes varieties of Carricante, Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese. Their wines combine a steely, saline minerality with a plethora of ripe fruits, driving acidity and intriguing complexity which is consistent not just in their single vineyard offerings, but even from their Etna Bianco and Rosso DOC. We are very proud to be Benanti’s new UK representative and given that the interest in their wines has already been overwhelming, the opportunity to taste these wines at the fair is not to be missed… <br /> <br /> Within the eclectic selection from the rest of our portfolio we will be showcasing two wines from our first ever South African producer who joined us at the start of 2015. It represents an exciting time for the development of Astrum as we branch out even further to discover wines in countries previously unrepresented in our portfolio. Scali is a winery in Northern Paarl, run by Willie and Tania De Waal whose great, great grandfather bought the land with a 45 carat diamond he found. Their wines are distinguishable due to the high proportion of shale in the soil which adds a certain minerality to the sleek tannins and fine red fruits abundant in the red wines; their Pinotage Sirkel being a perfect example, and adds a complexity to the ripe white fruit in their Chenin Blanc Sirkel, complimenting the bright, clean, classic style with a mineral edge. <br /> <br /> It is also an exciting year for our Vinvita range of Northern Italian wines as we have completely revamped the packaging. The new look coincided with the release of the 2014 vintages of the wines in this range; Prosecco Spumante DOC Extra Dry NV, Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese Rubicone and Trebbiano Rubicone. The decision to redesign the Vinvita packaging came about due to the growing success of this range of wines over the past couple of years. We felt the range needed and deserved a label design that better represented the consistent quality of these wines as it is a selection that offers excellent value both for quality reliability and for the typical varietal characteristics each wine embodies. The new design incorporates the use of high quality textured paper, embossed font and a more sophisticated use of foils and finishes. <br /> <br /> Looking forward to seeing you all either at our stand <strong><em>C26</em></strong> or at our table in <strong><em>The View Tastings</em></strong> section!</p>', 'date' => '2015-04-22', 'image_id' => '1321', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-04-22 13:16:44', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-04-22 13:43:01', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1321', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '876798741', 'name' => 'LWF 2015 Image.png', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'png', 'size' => '101007', 'width' => '743', 'height' => '513', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-04-22 13:42:10', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-04-22 13:42:11', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1278', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/04/876798741.png', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 3 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '27', 'title' => 'Friuli's Leading Lady', 'slug' => 'friuli-s-leading-lady', 'teaser' => 'Our four new wines from Serena Palazzolo of Ronco del Gnemiz in Northeastern Italy show remarkable varietal style and character and are outstanding expressions of their terroir. ', 'content' => '<p>Our four new wines from Serena Palazzolo of Ronco del Gnemiz in Northeastern Italy show remarkable varietal style and character and are outstanding expressions of their terroir. <br /><br />Ronco del Gnemiz wines are characterised by bright acidity in the whites, with a very careful use of oak, while the reds adopt a classic Bordeaux style and austere tannins. All wines are made with fully mature grapes which are never overripe, and subsequently the rich fruit is the focus for both reds and whites. Aided and advised by talented winemaker Christian Patat, it is the purity, length and display of true varietal style which places Serena’s wines among the gems of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, and make them a testament to her commitment and passion. <br /><br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/ronco-del-gnemiz">here</a> to read the full story on Ronco del Gnemiz.<br /><br /><strong>Sauvignon Salici: </strong>This gorgeous Sauvignon shows less pungency than expected from the grape. There is a delightful minerality on the palate that gives the wine an interesting savoury, almost salty note to compliment the ripe white fruits and lighter green fruit notes. The wine is warm, rounded and powerful but equally refined with a fresh, focussed acidity. This is a truly fabulous and unique Sauvignon Blanc. <br /><br /><strong>Chardonnay Ronco Basso:</strong> A textured and rounded Chardonnay that is a excellent regional example of the grape. Clean, pure and brimming with exotic fruit and lemon balm with buttery notes on the finish. A slight minerality ensures freshness and balances the very well integrated hints of oak. <br /><br /><strong>Rosso di Jacopo: </strong>This velvety, purple wine of Merlot and Refosco shows both a powerful and complex nose with aromas of both ripe, sweet fruit and spices and a savoury restraint. The palate shows a similar fruit core with drying and spicy notes on the finish. The fine, dusty tannins are a good match for the round, silky structure. This is a wine with great focus. <br /><br /><strong>Rosso del Gnemiz:</strong> Each grape in the Rosso del Gnemiz is given it's chance to shine. The separate contributuion of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon join forces to make a wine with stunning aromas on the nose; a wealth of dark fruits and an intense core of perfumed berries. Additional lighter, savoury, graphite and creamy notes form intriguing layers within the fruit. On the palate, the wine is rounded yet still fairly restrained with great depth, texture and complexity. The savoury, graphite component is mirrored on the palate along with the central flavours of crushed berries. The tannins are fine grain and drying and the finish is extraordinarily long. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>', 'date' => '2015-01-16', 'image_id' => '1254', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-01-16 09:12:57', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-01-16 10:30:19', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1254', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '930762770', 'name' => 'RDG Wines.jpeg', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'jpeg', 'size' => '524288', 'width' => '2260', 'height' => '2260', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-01-16 10:05:51', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-01-16 10:05:51', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1211', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/01/930762770.jpeg', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 4 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '26', 'title' => '* Astrum Christmas Closure Dates *', 'slug' => 'astrum-christmas-closure-dates', 'teaser' => 'Don't miss that crucial Christmas order!!

Markus' 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 as an internationally acclaimed leading producer and ambassador of the region, with a particular focus on purity, terroir and endless complexity. The editorial staff of Falstaff magazine expressed their admiration of the way Huber captures the particular Traisental terroir of limestone soils, cool climate and the River Danube: ‘It’s quite impressive, the way Markus Huber is able to articulate the particular “flavour” of the Traisental’s meagre limestone conglomerate soils and cool climate in his wines. For him, these elements of terroir translate as a matter of course.’<br />At 20 years old Markus became responsible for the family winery, where three quarters of the vineyard area is dedicated to Gruner Veltliner but his Riesling also offers an unmistakable expression of Traisental. ‘I am inspired anew every day by the beauty and the natural surroundings of the Traisental,’ says Markus Huber, ‘if I am able to express the unique nature of my home in the wines, and communicate this to the consumer – well, this makes me very happy.'<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/huber">here </a>to discover more about Huber and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>PFAFFL</strong></span><br />Siblings Roman Josef Pfaffl and Heidemarie Fischer with their 170 acres of vineyards spread across the Weinviertel region and around the capital Vienna, swept the board of awards this year, with a plethora of wines awarded over 90 points by the Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson. Nearly every wine from their complete range has been awarded this excellent high score by one or more critic! Their Grüner Veltliner Reserve <em>Hommage</em> was given an outstanding 95 points by both Falstaff and the Wine Enthusiast. All the wines on our list performed excellently, with Falstaff awarding 92 points to Grüner Veltliner Hundsleiten Weinviertel DAC and 91 points to Grüner Veltliner Haidviertel Weinviertel DAC and both their blends Wein.1 and Wein.2 were rated in the top 10 of the magazine Genuss & Wein Pur.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/pfaffl">here </a>to discover more about Pfaffl and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>TSCHIDA</strong></span><br />2015 is now the fifth year that Hans Tschida has won the IWC Sweet Winemaker of the Year award. His unbelievable consistancy in quality has won him a total of 40 IWC gold medals, 36 silver medals and four bronze medals as well as 19 trophies since 2010.<br />Hans cultivates 30 hectares surrounding Burgenland's quaint winemaking town of Illmitz on the right bank of Neusiedlersee, where his main grape varieties are Welschiesling, Chardonnay, Sämling 88 (Scheurebe), Muskat Ottonel, Traminer and Pinot Blanc. It is a place that seems to have been created to produce great sweet wines, with foggy autumn mornings giving way to dry sunny afternoons, producing perfect conditions for the development of noble rot.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/tschida">here</a> to discover more about Tschida and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>JOHANNESHOF</strong><strong> REINISCH</strong></span><strong><br /></strong>Excellent results were awarded by the Wine Enthusiast to the Johanneshof Reinisch estate in Tattendorf, in the Thermenregion wine-growing area of Lower Austria. Specialising in local grape varieties and traditions, the Reinisch family has its own vine nursery, cultivating indigenous grape varieties such as Rotgipfler and Zierfandler in their Gumpoldskirchen vineyards. Across the globe, there are roughly only 100 hectares (247 acres) remaining of these two indigenous white varieties, making the Reinisch’s offerings an unusual and unique glimpse into Austria’s wine roots. A staggering 95 points was awarded to both their Holzspur Pinot Noir and Holzspur St Laurent 2012, with the Rotgipfler picking up 90 and a selection from the rest of their range walking away with 92, 93 and 94 points. The region's geothermal hot springs flow under the vineyards and contribute to excellent wine growing conditions for finicky varieties and the Reinisch organic status and philosophy ensures the wine's expression of the terroir is at its most pure.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/johanneshof-reinisch">here </a>to discover more about Johanneshof Reinisch and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WENINGER</span><br /></strong>Last, but certainly not least, is the outstanding producer Weninger who owns vineyard sites in both Austria and Hungary. Considered one of the pioneers of quality wine growing in Austria, Franz Weninger's approach to viticulture and winemaking is based on allowing the vines to find and reach their natural balance. The impact of his biodynamic winemaking since its implementation, has facilitated an incredible and consistant drive towards quality, and his continual experimenting and pushing the boundaries of modern winemaking establishes Weninger as a winery of utmost importance now and in the coming years. <br />Despite having won the 2014 Gault Millau Collection of the year, Franz tends not to enter his wines for awards.

Naturally, we think they are all fantastic producers of extraordinary wines, but when this is reinforced by their constant medal wins, award wins and sparkling reviews, it makes us extra proud. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to give you a round up of the latest bout of Austrian success...', 'content' => '<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>HUBER</strong></span><br />Earlier this month we were delighted to hear that Markus Huber, the young, dynamic winemaker from the Traisental in Lower Austria, was awarded the title of <strong>Falstaff's Winegrower of the Year</strong>!!! Markus' 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 as an internationally acclaimed leading producer and ambassador of the region, with a particular focus on purity, terroir and endless complexity. The editorial staff of Falstaff magazine expressed their admiration of the way Huber captures the particular Traisental terroir of limestone soils, cool climate and the River Danube: ‘It’s quite impressive, the way Markus Huber is able to articulate the particular “flavour” of the Traisental’s meagre limestone conglomerate soils and cool climate in his wines. For him, these elements of terroir translate as a matter of course.’<br />At 20 years old Markus became responsible for the family winery, where three quarters of the vineyard area is dedicated to Gruner Veltliner but his Riesling also offers an unmistakable expression of Traisental. ‘I am inspired anew every day by the beauty and the natural surroundings of the Traisental,’ says Markus Huber, ‘if I am able to express the unique nature of my home in the wines, and communicate this to the consumer – well, this makes me very happy.'<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/huber">here </a>to discover more about Huber and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>PFAFFL</strong></span><br />Siblings Roman Josef Pfaffl and Heidemarie Fischer with their 170 acres of vineyards spread across the Weinviertel region and around the capital Vienna, swept the board of awards this year, with a plethora of wines awarded over 90 points by the Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson. Nearly every wine from their complete range has been awarded this excellent high score by one or more critic! Their Grüner Veltliner Reserve <em>Hommage</em> was given an outstanding 95 points by both Falstaff and the Wine Enthusiast. All the wines on our list performed excellently, with Falstaff awarding 92 points to Grüner Veltliner Hundsleiten Weinviertel DAC and 91 points to Grüner Veltliner Haidviertel Weinviertel DAC and both their blends Wein.1 and Wein.2 were rated in the top 10 of the magazine Genuss & Wein Pur.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/pfaffl">here </a>to discover more about Pfaffl and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>TSCHIDA</strong></span><br />2015 is now the fifth year that Hans Tschida has won the IWC Sweet Winemaker of the Year award. His unbelievable consistancy in quality has won him a total of 40 IWC gold medals, 36 silver medals and four bronze medals as well as 19 trophies since 2010.<br />Hans cultivates 30 hectares surrounding Burgenland's quaint winemaking town of Illmitz on the right bank of Neusiedlersee, where his main grape varieties are Welschiesling, Chardonnay, Sämling 88 (Scheurebe), Muskat Ottonel, Traminer and Pinot Blanc. It is a place that seems to have been created to produce great sweet wines, with foggy autumn mornings giving way to dry sunny afternoons, producing perfect conditions for the development of noble rot.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/tschida">here</a> to discover more about Tschida and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>JOHANNESHOF</strong><strong> REINISCH</strong></span><strong><br /></strong>Excellent results were awarded by the Wine Enthusiast to the Johanneshof Reinisch estate in Tattendorf, in the Thermenregion wine-growing area of Lower Austria. Specialising in local grape varieties and traditions, the Reinisch family has its own vine nursery, cultivating indigenous grape varieties such as Rotgipfler and Zierfandler in their Gumpoldskirchen vineyards. Across the globe, there are roughly only 100 hectares (247 acres) remaining of these two indigenous white varieties, making the Reinisch’s offerings an unusual and unique glimpse into Austria’s wine roots. A staggering 95 points was awarded to both their Holzspur Pinot Noir and Holzspur St Laurent 2012, with the Rotgipfler picking up 90 and a selection from the rest of their range walking away with 92, 93 and 94 points. The region's geothermal hot springs flow under the vineyards and contribute to excellent wine growing conditions for finicky varieties and the Reinisch organic status and philosophy ensures the wine's expression of the terroir is at its most pure.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/johanneshof-reinisch">here </a>to discover more about Johanneshof Reinisch and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WENINGER</span><br /></strong>Last, but certainly not least, is the outstanding producer Weninger who owns vineyard sites in both Austria and Hungary. Considered one of the pioneers of quality wine growing in Austria, Franz Weninger's approach to viticulture and winemaking is based on allowing the vines to find and reach their natural balance. The impact of his biodynamic winemaking since its implementation, has facilitated an incredible and consistant drive towards quality, and his continual experimenting and pushing the boundaries of modern winemaking establishes Weninger as a winery of utmost importance now and in the coming years. <br />Despite having won the 2014 Gault Millau Collection of the year, Franz tends not to enter his wines for awards. Besides, they really do speak for themselves... Exciting wines with an equally exciting philosophy. <br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/weninger-austria">here</a><a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/johanneshof-reinisch"> </a>to discover more about Weninger and the wines we stock.</p> <div align="center"> </div>', 'date' => '2015-07-28', 'image_id' => '1368', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-07-28 12:46:26', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-07-29 12:21:13', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1368', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '962851494', 'name' => 'Falstaff Image.jpg', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'jpg', 'size' => '30283', 'width' => '388', 'height' => '253', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-07-28 12:46:16', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-07-28 12:46:17', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1325', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/07/962851494.jpg', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 1 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '29', 'title' => 'Piedmont Rivals: North Vs South', 'slug' => 'piedmont-rivals-north-vs-south', 'teaser' => 'As Decanter awards Gold to Tenute Sella’s Lessona, Piedmont proves that its aptitude for producing outstanding wines from Nebbiolo goes far beyond Barolo and Barbaresco. ', 'content' => '<p>Having to compete with its world famous Southern Piedmont counterparts is no easy feat for the lesser known Piedmont wines made from Nebbiolo, and as such wines such as Lessona, Bramaterra, Boca, Ghemme, Gattinara and Carema do not often get the recognition they deserve. Generally speaking they do not have the power and flesh of Barolo but instead tend towards a more refined, fragrant and fresher style with a lighter, silkier structure. <span style="line-height: 1.4;">At Astrum, we have adored the stunning wines from Tenute Sella for over a decade now and are therefore delighted with their Gold Medal at this year’s Decanter World Wine Awards for their gorgeous Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo 2007. </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Tenute Sella has been a family-owned winery since 1671, which now produces around 90,000 bottles a year from their 22 hectares. Specialising in Lessona and Bramaterra, all their wines show great focus, precision of aromas and flavours and are exceptionally ageworthy.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">One of the smallest DOCs in Piedmont, Lessona wine must have a minimum of 75% Nebbiolo and the remaining percentage can be either Vespolina or Bonarda. Tenute Sella’s San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is a blend of 85% Nebbiolo and 15% Vespolina from 75 year old vines. </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is the symbol of Lessona and its history; it is a hill which reaches the highest point in the town of Lessona, and has been planted with vineyards since 1436 in sandy soils with an acid pH, typical of the Lessona DOC.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Tenute Sella's San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is fermented in stainless steel vats, macerated for 25 days and malolactic fermentation takes place the following spring when the wine is in oak. It spends 24 months in 25hl Slavonian oak barrels and 12 months in Allier Oak tonneaux and the aging potential for this wine is over 30 years. 2007 is an outstanding vintage due to the long growing season from a mild winter to a summer that was not brutally hot and was tempered by cooling breezes and allowing the grapes to reach excellent phenolic ripeness and maturity. Highly aromatic and full-bodied, the 2007 promises to age beautifully. </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">"The 2007 Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is a beautiful, complete wine. Pliant and expressive, yet also intensely mineral, the 2007 is built on balance and harmony.

We are particularly excited as we have a second stand this year in the fine wine section <em>The View Tastings</em> and so more scope to show off our wines! Our main stand will take on the same format as last year. A number of our producers will join us for the fair and guide visitors from on-trade, off-trade and independents through a range of wines from their whole portfolio, not just those imported by Astrum. The producers featured this year are Sicily’s <strong>Benanti </strong>from the slopes of Mount Etna, <strong>Caldora</strong> and <strong>Cellaro</strong> from Abruzzo and Sicily, Barolo-producer <strong>Giacomo Borgogno e Figli</strong> with <strong>Serafini & Vidotto</strong> and their outstanding Bordeaux blends, and <strong>Huber </strong>with his gorgeous Grüner Veltliners from Austria. We also have Tuscany’s <strong>Principe Corsini</strong> for Chianti and organic producer <strong>Salcheto </strong>for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Piedmont’s Gattinara producer <strong>Travaglini</strong> and <strong>Verus</strong> from Slovenia with a beautiful selection of Pinot Gris, Furmint, Riesling, Sauvignon and Chardonnay. In the centre of the stand we will also have a selection of wines on show from across the rest of Astrum’s portfolio. <br /> <br /> Benanti is the newest addition to Astrum’s portfolio, joining this February. Their wines are excellent expressions of the particular microclimate of Sicily’s stunning active volcano and twin brothers Antonio and Salvino are furious custodians of the region’s indigenous grapes varieties of Carricante, Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese. Their wines combine a steely, saline minerality with a plethora of ripe fruits, driving acidity and intriguing complexity which is consistent not just in their single vineyard offerings, but even from their Etna Bianco and Rosso DOC. We are very proud to be Benanti’s new UK representative and given that the interest in their wines has already been overwhelming, the opportunity to taste these wines at the fair is not to be missed… <br /> <br /> Within the eclectic selection from the rest of our portfolio we will be showcasing two wines from our first ever South African producer who joined us at the start of 2015. It represents an exciting time for the development of Astrum as we branch out even further to discover wines in countries previously unrepresented in our portfolio. Scali is a winery in Northern Paarl, run by Willie and Tania De Waal whose great, great grandfather bought the land with a 45 carat diamond he found. Their wines are distinguishable due to the high proportion of shale in the soil which adds a certain minerality to the sleek tannins and fine red fruits abundant in the red wines; their Pinotage Sirkel being a perfect example, and adds a complexity to the ripe white fruit in their Chenin Blanc Sirkel, complimenting the bright, clean, classic style with a mineral edge. <br /> <br /> It is also an exciting year for our Vinvita range of Northern Italian wines as we have completely revamped the packaging. The new look coincided with the release of the 2014 vintages of the wines in this range; Prosecco Spumante DOC Extra Dry NV, Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese Rubicone and Trebbiano Rubicone. The decision to redesign the Vinvita packaging came about due to the growing success of this range of wines over the past couple of years. We felt the range needed and deserved a label design that better represented the consistent quality of these wines as it is a selection that offers excellent value both for quality reliability and for the typical varietal characteristics each wine embodies. The new design incorporates the use of high quality textured paper, embossed font and a more sophisticated use of foils and finishes. <br /> <br /> Looking forward to seeing you all either at our stand <strong><em>C26</em></strong> or at our table in <strong><em>The View Tastings</em></strong> section!</p>', 'date' => '2015-04-22', 'image_id' => '1321', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-04-22 13:16:44', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-04-22 13:43:01', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1321', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '876798741', 'name' => 'LWF 2015 Image.png', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'png', 'size' => '101007', 'width' => '743', 'height' => '513', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-04-22 13:42:10', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-04-22 13:42:11', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1278', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/04/876798741.png', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 3 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '27', 'title' => 'Friuli's Leading Lady', 'slug' => 'friuli-s-leading-lady', 'teaser' => 'Our four new wines from Serena Palazzolo of Ronco del Gnemiz in Northeastern Italy show remarkable varietal style and character and are outstanding expressions of their terroir. ', 'content' => '<p>Our four new wines from Serena Palazzolo of Ronco del Gnemiz in Northeastern Italy show remarkable varietal style and character and are outstanding expressions of their terroir. <br /><br />Ronco del Gnemiz wines are characterised by bright acidity in the whites, with a very careful use of oak, while the reds adopt a classic Bordeaux style and austere tannins. All wines are made with fully mature grapes which are never overripe, and subsequently the rich fruit is the focus for both reds and whites. Aided and advised by talented winemaker Christian Patat, it is the purity, length and display of true varietal style which places Serena’s wines among the gems of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, and make them a testament to her commitment and passion. <br /><br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/ronco-del-gnemiz">here</a> to read the full story on Ronco del Gnemiz.<br /><br /><strong>Sauvignon Salici: </strong>This gorgeous Sauvignon shows less pungency than expected from the grape. There is a delightful minerality on the palate that gives the wine an interesting savoury, almost salty note to compliment the ripe white fruits and lighter green fruit notes. The wine is warm, rounded and powerful but equally refined with a fresh, focussed acidity. This is a truly fabulous and unique Sauvignon Blanc. <br /><br /><strong>Chardonnay Ronco Basso:</strong> A textured and rounded Chardonnay that is a excellent regional example of the grape. Clean, pure and brimming with exotic fruit and lemon balm with buttery notes on the finish. A slight minerality ensures freshness and balances the very well integrated hints of oak. <br /><br /><strong>Rosso di Jacopo: </strong>This velvety, purple wine of Merlot and Refosco shows both a powerful and complex nose with aromas of both ripe, sweet fruit and spices and a savoury restraint. The palate shows a similar fruit core with drying and spicy notes on the finish. The fine, dusty tannins are a good match for the round, silky structure. This is a wine with great focus. <br /><br /><strong>Rosso del Gnemiz:</strong> Each grape in the Rosso del Gnemiz is given it's chance to shine. The separate contributuion of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon join forces to make a wine with stunning aromas on the nose; a wealth of dark fruits and an intense core of perfumed berries. Additional lighter, savoury, graphite and creamy notes form intriguing layers within the fruit. On the palate, the wine is rounded yet still fairly restrained with great depth, texture and complexity. The savoury, graphite component is mirrored on the palate along with the central flavours of crushed berries. The tannins are fine grain and drying and the finish is extraordinarily long. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>', 'date' => '2015-01-16', 'image_id' => '1254', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-01-16 09:12:57', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-01-16 10:30:19', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1254', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '930762770', 'name' => 'RDG Wines.jpeg', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'jpeg', 'size' => '524288', 'width' => '2260', 'height' => '2260', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-01-16 10:05:51', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-01-16 10:05:51', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1211', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/01/930762770.jpeg', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 4 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '26', 'title' => '* Astrum Christmas Closure Dates *', 'slug' => 'astrum-christmas-closure-dates', 'teaser' => 'Don't miss that crucial Christmas order!!

Generally speaking they do not have the power and flesh of Barolo but instead tend towards a more refined, fragrant and fresher style with a lighter, silkier structure. <span style="line-height: 1.4;">At Astrum, we have adored the stunning wines from Tenute Sella for over a decade now and are therefore delighted with their Gold Medal at this year’s Decanter World Wine Awards for their gorgeous Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo 2007. </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Tenute Sella has been a family-owned winery since 1671, which now produces around 90,000 bottles a year from their 22 hectares. Specialising in Lessona and Bramaterra, all their wines show great focus, precision of aromas and flavours and are exceptionally ageworthy.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">One of the smallest DOCs in Piedmont, Lessona wine must have a minimum of 75% Nebbiolo and the remaining percentage can be either Vespolina or Bonarda. Tenute Sella’s San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is a blend of 85% Nebbiolo and 15% Vespolina from 75 year old vines. </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is the symbol of Lessona and its history; it is a hill which reaches the highest point in the town of Lessona, and has been planted with vineyards since 1436 in sandy soils with an acid pH, typical of the Lessona DOC.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Tenute Sella's San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is fermented in stainless steel vats, macerated for 25 days and malolactic fermentation takes place the following spring when the wine is in oak. It spends 24 months in 25hl Slavonian oak barrels and 12 months in Allier Oak tonneaux and the aging potential for this wine is over 30 years. 2007 is an outstanding vintage due to the long growing season from a mild winter to a summer that was not brutally hot and was tempered by cooling breezes and allowing the grapes to reach excellent phenolic ripeness and maturity. Highly aromatic and full-bodied, the 2007 promises to age beautifully. </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">"The 2007 Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is a beautiful, complete wine. Pliant and expressive, yet also intensely mineral, the 2007 is built on balance and harmony.

Naturally, we think they are all fantastic producers of extraordinary wines, but when this is reinforced by their constant medal wins, award wins and sparkling reviews, it makes us extra proud. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to give you a round up of the latest bout of Austrian success...', 'content' => '<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>HUBER</strong></span><br />Earlier this month we were delighted to hear that Markus Huber, the young, dynamic winemaker from the Traisental in Lower Austria, was awarded the title of <strong>Falstaff's Winegrower of the Year</strong>!!! Markus' 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 as an internationally acclaimed leading producer and ambassador of the region, with a particular focus on purity, terroir and endless complexity. The editorial staff of Falstaff magazine expressed their admiration of the way Huber captures the particular Traisental terroir of limestone soils, cool climate and the River Danube: ‘It’s quite impressive, the way Markus Huber is able to articulate the particular “flavour” of the Traisental’s meagre limestone conglomerate soils and cool climate in his wines. For him, these elements of terroir translate as a matter of course.’<br />At 20 years old Markus became responsible for the family winery, where three quarters of the vineyard area is dedicated to Gruner Veltliner but his Riesling also offers an unmistakable expression of Traisental. ‘I am inspired anew every day by the beauty and the natural surroundings of the Traisental,’ says Markus Huber, ‘if I am able to express the unique nature of my home in the wines, and communicate this to the consumer – well, this makes me very happy.'<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/huber">here </a>to discover more about Huber and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>PFAFFL</strong></span><br />Siblings Roman Josef Pfaffl and Heidemarie Fischer with their 170 acres of vineyards spread across the Weinviertel region and around the capital Vienna, swept the board of awards this year, with a plethora of wines awarded over 90 points by the Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson. Nearly every wine from their complete range has been awarded this excellent high score by one or more critic! Their Grüner Veltliner Reserve <em>Hommage</em> was given an outstanding 95 points by both Falstaff and the Wine Enthusiast. All the wines on our list performed excellently, with Falstaff awarding 92 points to Grüner Veltliner Hundsleiten Weinviertel DAC and 91 points to Grüner Veltliner Haidviertel Weinviertel DAC and both their blends Wein.1 and Wein.2 were rated in the top 10 of the magazine Genuss & Wein Pur.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/pfaffl">here </a>to discover more about Pfaffl and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>TSCHIDA</strong></span><br />2015 is now the fifth year that Hans Tschida has won the IWC Sweet Winemaker of the Year award. His unbelievable consistancy in quality has won him a total of 40 IWC gold medals, 36 silver medals and four bronze medals as well as 19 trophies since 2010.<br />Hans cultivates 30 hectares surrounding Burgenland's quaint winemaking town of Illmitz on the right bank of Neusiedlersee, where his main grape varieties are Welschiesling, Chardonnay, Sämling 88 (Scheurebe), Muskat Ottonel, Traminer and Pinot Blanc. It is a place that seems to have been created to produce great sweet wines, with foggy autumn mornings giving way to dry sunny afternoons, producing perfect conditions for the development of noble rot.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/tschida">here</a> to discover more about Tschida and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>JOHANNESHOF</strong><strong> REINISCH</strong></span><strong><br /></strong>Excellent results were awarded by the Wine Enthusiast to the Johanneshof Reinisch estate in Tattendorf, in the Thermenregion wine-growing area of Lower Austria. Specialising in local grape varieties and traditions, the Reinisch family has its own vine nursery, cultivating indigenous grape varieties such as Rotgipfler and Zierfandler in their Gumpoldskirchen vineyards. Across the globe, there are roughly only 100 hectares (247 acres) remaining of these two indigenous white varieties, making the Reinisch’s offerings an unusual and unique glimpse into Austria’s wine roots. A staggering 95 points was awarded to both their Holzspur Pinot Noir and Holzspur St Laurent 2012, with the Rotgipfler picking up 90 and a selection from the rest of their range walking away with 92, 93 and 94 points. The region's geothermal hot springs flow under the vineyards and contribute to excellent wine growing conditions for finicky varieties and the Reinisch organic status and philosophy ensures the wine's expression of the terroir is at its most pure.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/johanneshof-reinisch">here </a>to discover more about Johanneshof Reinisch and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WENINGER</span><br /></strong>Last, but certainly not least, is the outstanding producer Weninger who owns vineyard sites in both Austria and Hungary. Considered one of the pioneers of quality wine growing in Austria, Franz Weninger's approach to viticulture and winemaking is based on allowing the vines to find and reach their natural balance. The impact of his biodynamic winemaking since its implementation, has facilitated an incredible and consistant drive towards quality, and his continual experimenting and pushing the boundaries of modern winemaking establishes Weninger as a winery of utmost importance now and in the coming years. <br />Despite having won the 2014 Gault Millau Collection of the year, Franz tends not to enter his wines for awards. Besides, they really do speak for themselves... Exciting wines with an equally exciting philosophy. <br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/weninger-austria">here</a><a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/johanneshof-reinisch"> </a>to discover more about Weninger and the wines we stock.</p> <div align="center"> </div>', 'date' => '2015-07-28', 'image_id' => '1368', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-07-28 12:46:26', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-07-29 12:21:13', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1368', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '962851494', 'name' => 'Falstaff Image.jpg', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'jpg', 'size' => '30283', 'width' => '388', 'height' => '253', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-07-28 12:46:16', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-07-28 12:46:17', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1325', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/07/962851494.jpg', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 1 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '29', 'title' => 'Piedmont Rivals: North Vs South', 'slug' => 'piedmont-rivals-north-vs-south', 'teaser' => 'As Decanter awards Gold to Tenute Sella’s Lessona, Piedmont proves that its aptitude for producing outstanding wines from Nebbiolo goes far beyond Barolo and Barbaresco. ', 'content' => '<p>Having to compete with its world famous Southern Piedmont counterparts is no easy feat for the lesser known Piedmont wines made from Nebbiolo, and as such wines such as Lessona, Bramaterra, Boca, Ghemme, Gattinara and Carema do not often get the recognition they deserve. Generally speaking they do not have the power and flesh of Barolo but instead tend towards a more refined, fragrant and fresher style with a lighter, silkier structure. <span style="line-height: 1.4;">At Astrum, we have adored the stunning wines from Tenute Sella for over a decade now and are therefore delighted with their Gold Medal at this year’s Decanter World Wine Awards for their gorgeous Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo 2007. </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Tenute Sella has been a family-owned winery since 1671, which now produces around 90,000 bottles a year from their 22 hectares. Specialising in Lessona and Bramaterra, all their wines show great focus, precision of aromas and flavours and are exceptionally ageworthy.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">One of the smallest DOCs in Piedmont, Lessona wine must have a minimum of 75% Nebbiolo and the remaining percentage can be either Vespolina or Bonarda. Tenute Sella’s San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is a blend of 85% Nebbiolo and 15% Vespolina from 75 year old vines. </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is the symbol of Lessona and its history; it is a hill which reaches the highest point in the town of Lessona, and has been planted with vineyards since 1436 in sandy soils with an acid pH, typical of the Lessona DOC.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Tenute Sella's San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is fermented in stainless steel vats, macerated for 25 days and malolactic fermentation takes place the following spring when the wine is in oak. It spends 24 months in 25hl Slavonian oak barrels and 12 months in Allier Oak tonneaux and the aging potential for this wine is over 30 years. 2007 is an outstanding vintage due to the long growing season from a mild winter to a summer that was not brutally hot and was tempered by cooling breezes and allowing the grapes to reach excellent phenolic ripeness and maturity. Highly aromatic and full-bodied, the 2007 promises to age beautifully. </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">"The 2007 Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is a beautiful, complete wine. Pliant and expressive, yet also intensely mineral, the 2007 is built on balance and harmony.

We are particularly excited as we have a second stand this year in the fine wine section <em>The View Tastings</em> and so more scope to show off our wines! Our main stand will take on the same format as last year. A number of our producers will join us for the fair and guide visitors from on-trade, off-trade and independents through a range of wines from their whole portfolio, not just those imported by Astrum. The producers featured this year are Sicily’s <strong>Benanti </strong>from the slopes of Mount Etna, <strong>Caldora</strong> and <strong>Cellaro</strong> from Abruzzo and Sicily, Barolo-producer <strong>Giacomo Borgogno e Figli</strong> with <strong>Serafini & Vidotto</strong> and their outstanding Bordeaux blends, and <strong>Huber </strong>with his gorgeous Grüner Veltliners from Austria. We also have Tuscany’s <strong>Principe Corsini</strong> for Chianti and organic producer <strong>Salcheto </strong>for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Piedmont’s Gattinara producer <strong>Travaglini</strong> and <strong>Verus</strong> from Slovenia with a beautiful selection of Pinot Gris, Furmint, Riesling, Sauvignon and Chardonnay. In the centre of the stand we will also have a selection of wines on show from across the rest of Astrum’s portfolio. <br /> <br /> Benanti is the newest addition to Astrum’s portfolio, joining this February. Their wines are excellent expressions of the particular microclimate of Sicily’s stunning active volcano and twin brothers Antonio and Salvino are furious custodians of the region’s indigenous grapes varieties of Carricante, Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese. Their wines combine a steely, saline minerality with a plethora of ripe fruits, driving acidity and intriguing complexity which is consistent not just in their single vineyard offerings, but even from their Etna Bianco and Rosso DOC. We are very proud to be Benanti’s new UK representative and given that the interest in their wines has already been overwhelming, the opportunity to taste these wines at the fair is not to be missed… <br /> <br /> Within the eclectic selection from the rest of our portfolio we will be showcasing two wines from our first ever South African producer who joined us at the start of 2015. It represents an exciting time for the development of Astrum as we branch out even further to discover wines in countries previously unrepresented in our portfolio. Scali is a winery in Northern Paarl, run by Willie and Tania De Waal whose great, great grandfather bought the land with a 45 carat diamond he found. Their wines are distinguishable due to the high proportion of shale in the soil which adds a certain minerality to the sleek tannins and fine red fruits abundant in the red wines; their Pinotage Sirkel being a perfect example, and adds a complexity to the ripe white fruit in their Chenin Blanc Sirkel, complimenting the bright, clean, classic style with a mineral edge. <br /> <br /> It is also an exciting year for our Vinvita range of Northern Italian wines as we have completely revamped the packaging. The new look coincided with the release of the 2014 vintages of the wines in this range; Prosecco Spumante DOC Extra Dry NV, Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese Rubicone and Trebbiano Rubicone. The decision to redesign the Vinvita packaging came about due to the growing success of this range of wines over the past couple of years. We felt the range needed and deserved a label design that better represented the consistent quality of these wines as it is a selection that offers excellent value both for quality reliability and for the typical varietal characteristics each wine embodies. The new design incorporates the use of high quality textured paper, embossed font and a more sophisticated use of foils and finishes. <br /> <br /> Looking forward to seeing you all either at our stand <strong><em>C26</em></strong> or at our table in <strong><em>The View Tastings</em></strong> section!</p>', 'date' => '2015-04-22', 'image_id' => '1321', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-04-22 13:16:44', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-04-22 13:43:01', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1321', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '876798741', 'name' => 'LWF 2015 Image.png', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'png', 'size' => '101007', 'width' => '743', 'height' => '513', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-04-22 13:42:10', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-04-22 13:42:11', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1278', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/04/876798741.png', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 3 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '27', 'title' => 'Friuli's Leading Lady', 'slug' => 'friuli-s-leading-lady', 'teaser' => 'Our four new wines from Serena Palazzolo of Ronco del Gnemiz in Northeastern Italy show remarkable varietal style and character and are outstanding expressions of their terroir. ', 'content' => '<p>Our four new wines from Serena Palazzolo of Ronco del Gnemiz in Northeastern Italy show remarkable varietal style and character and are outstanding expressions of their terroir. <br /><br />Ronco del Gnemiz wines are characterised by bright acidity in the whites, with a very careful use of oak, while the reds adopt a classic Bordeaux style and austere tannins. All wines are made with fully mature grapes which are never overripe, and subsequently the rich fruit is the focus for both reds and whites. Aided and advised by talented winemaker Christian Patat, it is the purity, length and display of true varietal style which places Serena’s wines among the gems of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, and make them a testament to her commitment and passion. <br /><br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/ronco-del-gnemiz">here</a> to read the full story on Ronco del Gnemiz.<br /><br /><strong>Sauvignon Salici: </strong>This gorgeous Sauvignon shows less pungency than expected from the grape. There is a delightful minerality on the palate that gives the wine an interesting savoury, almost salty note to compliment the ripe white fruits and lighter green fruit notes. The wine is warm, rounded and powerful but equally refined with a fresh, focussed acidity. This is a truly fabulous and unique Sauvignon Blanc. <br /><br /><strong>Chardonnay Ronco Basso:</strong> A textured and rounded Chardonnay that is a excellent regional example of the grape. Clean, pure and brimming with exotic fruit and lemon balm with buttery notes on the finish. A slight minerality ensures freshness and balances the very well integrated hints of oak. <br /><br /><strong>Rosso di Jacopo: </strong>This velvety, purple wine of Merlot and Refosco shows both a powerful and complex nose with aromas of both ripe, sweet fruit and spices and a savoury restraint. The palate shows a similar fruit core with drying and spicy notes on the finish. The fine, dusty tannins are a good match for the round, silky structure. This is a wine with great focus. <br /><br /><strong>Rosso del Gnemiz:</strong> Each grape in the Rosso del Gnemiz is given it's chance to shine. The separate contributuion of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon join forces to make a wine with stunning aromas on the nose; a wealth of dark fruits and an intense core of perfumed berries. Additional lighter, savoury, graphite and creamy notes form intriguing layers within the fruit. On the palate, the wine is rounded yet still fairly restrained with great depth, texture and complexity. The savoury, graphite component is mirrored on the palate along with the central flavours of crushed berries. The tannins are fine grain and drying and the finish is extraordinarily long. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>', 'date' => '2015-01-16', 'image_id' => '1254', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-01-16 09:12:57', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-01-16 10:30:19', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1254', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '930762770', 'name' => 'RDG Wines.jpeg', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'jpeg', 'size' => '524288', 'width' => '2260', 'height' => '2260', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-01-16 10:05:51', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-01-16 10:05:51', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1211', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/01/930762770.jpeg', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 4 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '26', 'title' => '* Astrum Christmas Closure Dates *', 'slug' => 'astrum-christmas-closure-dates', 'teaser' => 'Don't miss that crucial Christmas order!!

Their wines are distinguishable due to the high proportion of shale in the soil which adds a certain minerality to the sleek tannins and fine red fruits abundant in the red wines; their Pinotage Sirkel being a perfect example, and adds a complexity to the ripe white fruit in their Chenin Blanc Sirkel, complimenting the bright, clean, classic style with a mineral edge. <br /> <br /> It is also an exciting year for our Vinvita range of Northern Italian wines as we have completely revamped the packaging. The new look coincided with the release of the 2014 vintages of the wines in this range; Prosecco Spumante DOC Extra Dry NV, Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese Rubicone and Trebbiano Rubicone. The decision to redesign the Vinvita packaging came about due to the growing success of this range of wines over the past couple of years. We felt the range needed and deserved a label design that better represented the consistent quality of these wines as it is a selection that offers excellent value both for quality reliability and for the typical varietal characteristics each wine embodies. The new design incorporates the use of high quality textured paper, embossed font and a more sophisticated use of foils and finishes. <br /> <br /> Looking forward to seeing you all either at our stand <strong><em>C26</em></strong> or at our table in <strong><em>The View Tastings</em></strong> section!</p>', 'date' => '2015-04-22', 'image_id' => '1321', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-04-22 13:16:44', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-04-22 13:43:01', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1321', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '876798741', 'name' => 'LWF 2015 Image.png', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'png', 'size' => '101007', 'width' => '743', 'height' => '513', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-04-22 13:42:10', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-04-22 13:42:11', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1278', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/04/876798741.png', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ) $k = (int) 2 $class = array( (int) 0 => 'item', (int) 1 => 'border' )include - APP/Plugin/News/View/News/index.ctp, line 21 View::_evaluate() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 935 View::_render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 897 View::render() - CORE/Cake/View/View.php, line 466 Controller::render() - CORE/Cake/Controller/Controller.php, line 954 Dispatcher::_invoke() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 192 Dispatcher::dispatch() - CORE/Cake/Routing/Dispatcher.php, line 160 [main] - APP/webroot/index.php, line 96

Naturally, we think they are all fantastic producers of extraordinary wines, but when this is reinforced by their constant medal wins, award wins and sparkling reviews, it makes us extra proud. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to give you a round up of the latest bout of Austrian success...', 'content' => '<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>HUBER</strong></span><br />Earlier this month we were delighted to hear that Markus Huber, the young, dynamic winemaker from the Traisental in Lower Austria, was awarded the title of <strong>Falstaff's Winegrower of the Year</strong>!!! Markus' 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 as an internationally acclaimed leading producer and ambassador of the region, with a particular focus on purity, terroir and endless complexity. The editorial staff of Falstaff magazine expressed their admiration of the way Huber captures the particular Traisental terroir of limestone soils, cool climate and the River Danube: ‘It’s quite impressive, the way Markus Huber is able to articulate the particular “flavour” of the Traisental’s meagre limestone conglomerate soils and cool climate in his wines. For him, these elements of terroir translate as a matter of course.’<br />At 20 years old Markus became responsible for the family winery, where three quarters of the vineyard area is dedicated to Gruner Veltliner but his Riesling also offers an unmistakable expression of Traisental. ‘I am inspired anew every day by the beauty and the natural surroundings of the Traisental,’ says Markus Huber, ‘if I am able to express the unique nature of my home in the wines, and communicate this to the consumer – well, this makes me very happy.'<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/huber">here </a>to discover more about Huber and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>PFAFFL</strong></span><br />Siblings Roman Josef Pfaffl and Heidemarie Fischer with their 170 acres of vineyards spread across the Weinviertel region and around the capital Vienna, swept the board of awards this year, with a plethora of wines awarded over 90 points by the Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson. Nearly every wine from their complete range has been awarded this excellent high score by one or more critic! Their Grüner Veltliner Reserve <em>Hommage</em> was given an outstanding 95 points by both Falstaff and the Wine Enthusiast. All the wines on our list performed excellently, with Falstaff awarding 92 points to Grüner Veltliner Hundsleiten Weinviertel DAC and 91 points to Grüner Veltliner Haidviertel Weinviertel DAC and both their blends Wein.1 and Wein.2 were rated in the top 10 of the magazine Genuss & Wein Pur.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/pfaffl">here </a>to discover more about Pfaffl and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>TSCHIDA</strong></span><br />2015 is now the fifth year that Hans Tschida has won the IWC Sweet Winemaker of the Year award. His unbelievable consistancy in quality has won him a total of 40 IWC gold medals, 36 silver medals and four bronze medals as well as 19 trophies since 2010.<br />Hans cultivates 30 hectares surrounding Burgenland's quaint winemaking town of Illmitz on the right bank of Neusiedlersee, where his main grape varieties are Welschiesling, Chardonnay, Sämling 88 (Scheurebe), Muskat Ottonel, Traminer and Pinot Blanc. It is a place that seems to have been created to produce great sweet wines, with foggy autumn mornings giving way to dry sunny afternoons, producing perfect conditions for the development of noble rot.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/tschida">here</a> to discover more about Tschida and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>JOHANNESHOF</strong><strong> REINISCH</strong></span><strong><br /></strong>Excellent results were awarded by the Wine Enthusiast to the Johanneshof Reinisch estate in Tattendorf, in the Thermenregion wine-growing area of Lower Austria. Specialising in local grape varieties and traditions, the Reinisch family has its own vine nursery, cultivating indigenous grape varieties such as Rotgipfler and Zierfandler in their Gumpoldskirchen vineyards. Across the globe, there are roughly only 100 hectares (247 acres) remaining of these two indigenous white varieties, making the Reinisch’s offerings an unusual and unique glimpse into Austria’s wine roots. A staggering 95 points was awarded to both their Holzspur Pinot Noir and Holzspur St Laurent 2012, with the Rotgipfler picking up 90 and a selection from the rest of their range walking away with 92, 93 and 94 points. The region's geothermal hot springs flow under the vineyards and contribute to excellent wine growing conditions for finicky varieties and the Reinisch organic status and philosophy ensures the wine's expression of the terroir is at its most pure.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/johanneshof-reinisch">here </a>to discover more about Johanneshof Reinisch and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WENINGER</span><br /></strong>Last, but certainly not least, is the outstanding producer Weninger who owns vineyard sites in both Austria and Hungary. Considered one of the pioneers of quality wine growing in Austria, Franz Weninger's approach to viticulture and winemaking is based on allowing the vines to find and reach their natural balance. The impact of his biodynamic winemaking since its implementation, has facilitated an incredible and consistant drive towards quality, and his continual experimenting and pushing the boundaries of modern winemaking establishes Weninger as a winery of utmost importance now and in the coming years. <br />Despite having won the 2014 Gault Millau Collection of the year, Franz tends not to enter his wines for awards. Besides, they really do speak for themselves... Exciting wines with an equally exciting philosophy. <br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/weninger-austria">here</a><a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/johanneshof-reinisch"> </a>to discover more about Weninger and the wines we stock.</p> <div align="center"> </div>', 'date' => '2015-07-28', 'image_id' => '1368', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-07-28 12:46:26', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-07-29 12:21:13', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1368', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '962851494', 'name' => 'Falstaff Image.jpg', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'jpg', 'size' => '30283', 'width' => '388', 'height' => '253', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-07-28 12:46:16', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-07-28 12:46:17', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1325', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/07/962851494.jpg', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 1 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '29', 'title' => 'Piedmont Rivals: North Vs South', 'slug' => 'piedmont-rivals-north-vs-south', 'teaser' => 'As Decanter awards Gold to Tenute Sella’s Lessona, Piedmont proves that its aptitude for producing outstanding wines from Nebbiolo goes far beyond Barolo and Barbaresco. ', 'content' => '<p>Having to compete with its world famous Southern Piedmont counterparts is no easy feat for the lesser known Piedmont wines made from Nebbiolo, and as such wines such as Lessona, Bramaterra, Boca, Ghemme, Gattinara and Carema do not often get the recognition they deserve. Generally speaking they do not have the power and flesh of Barolo but instead tend towards a more refined, fragrant and fresher style with a lighter, silkier structure. <span style="line-height: 1.4;">At Astrum, we have adored the stunning wines from Tenute Sella for over a decade now and are therefore delighted with their Gold Medal at this year’s Decanter World Wine Awards for their gorgeous Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo 2007. </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Tenute Sella has been a family-owned winery since 1671, which now produces around 90,000 bottles a year from their 22 hectares. Specialising in Lessona and Bramaterra, all their wines show great focus, precision of aromas and flavours and are exceptionally ageworthy.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">One of the smallest DOCs in Piedmont, Lessona wine must have a minimum of 75% Nebbiolo and the remaining percentage can be either Vespolina or Bonarda. Tenute Sella’s San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is a blend of 85% Nebbiolo and 15% Vespolina from 75 year old vines. </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is the symbol of Lessona and its history; it is a hill which reaches the highest point in the town of Lessona, and has been planted with vineyards since 1436 in sandy soils with an acid pH, typical of the Lessona DOC.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Tenute Sella's San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is fermented in stainless steel vats, macerated for 25 days and malolactic fermentation takes place the following spring when the wine is in oak. It spends 24 months in 25hl Slavonian oak barrels and 12 months in Allier Oak tonneaux and the aging potential for this wine is over 30 years. 2007 is an outstanding vintage due to the long growing season from a mild winter to a summer that was not brutally hot and was tempered by cooling breezes and allowing the grapes to reach excellent phenolic ripeness and maturity. Highly aromatic and full-bodied, the 2007 promises to age beautifully. </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">"The 2007 Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is a beautiful, complete wine. Pliant and expressive, yet also intensely mineral, the 2007 is built on balance and harmony.

We are particularly excited as we have a second stand this year in the fine wine section <em>The View Tastings</em> and so more scope to show off our wines! Our main stand will take on the same format as last year. A number of our producers will join us for the fair and guide visitors from on-trade, off-trade and independents through a range of wines from their whole portfolio, not just those imported by Astrum. The producers featured this year are Sicily’s <strong>Benanti </strong>from the slopes of Mount Etna, <strong>Caldora</strong> and <strong>Cellaro</strong> from Abruzzo and Sicily, Barolo-producer <strong>Giacomo Borgogno e Figli</strong> with <strong>Serafini & Vidotto</strong> and their outstanding Bordeaux blends, and <strong>Huber </strong>with his gorgeous Grüner Veltliners from Austria. We also have Tuscany’s <strong>Principe Corsini</strong> for Chianti and organic producer <strong>Salcheto </strong>for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Piedmont’s Gattinara producer <strong>Travaglini</strong> and <strong>Verus</strong> from Slovenia with a beautiful selection of Pinot Gris, Furmint, Riesling, Sauvignon and Chardonnay. In the centre of the stand we will also have a selection of wines on show from across the rest of Astrum’s portfolio. <br /> <br /> Benanti is the newest addition to Astrum’s portfolio, joining this February. Their wines are excellent expressions of the particular microclimate of Sicily’s stunning active volcano and twin brothers Antonio and Salvino are furious custodians of the region’s indigenous grapes varieties of Carricante, Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese. Their wines combine a steely, saline minerality with a plethora of ripe fruits, driving acidity and intriguing complexity which is consistent not just in their single vineyard offerings, but even from their Etna Bianco and Rosso DOC. We are very proud to be Benanti’s new UK representative and given that the interest in their wines has already been overwhelming, the opportunity to taste these wines at the fair is not to be missed… <br /> <br /> Within the eclectic selection from the rest of our portfolio we will be showcasing two wines from our first ever South African producer who joined us at the start of 2015. It represents an exciting time for the development of Astrum as we branch out even further to discover wines in countries previously unrepresented in our portfolio. Scali is a winery in Northern Paarl, run by Willie and Tania De Waal whose great, great grandfather bought the land with a 45 carat diamond he found. Their wines are distinguishable due to the high proportion of shale in the soil which adds a certain minerality to the sleek tannins and fine red fruits abundant in the red wines; their Pinotage Sirkel being a perfect example, and adds a complexity to the ripe white fruit in their Chenin Blanc Sirkel, complimenting the bright, clean, classic style with a mineral edge. <br /> <br /> It is also an exciting year for our Vinvita range of Northern Italian wines as we have completely revamped the packaging. The new look coincided with the release of the 2014 vintages of the wines in this range; Prosecco Spumante DOC Extra Dry NV, Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese Rubicone and Trebbiano Rubicone. The decision to redesign the Vinvita packaging came about due to the growing success of this range of wines over the past couple of years. We felt the range needed and deserved a label design that better represented the consistent quality of these wines as it is a selection that offers excellent value both for quality reliability and for the typical varietal characteristics each wine embodies. The new design incorporates the use of high quality textured paper, embossed font and a more sophisticated use of foils and finishes. <br /> <br /> Looking forward to seeing you all either at our stand <strong><em>C26</em></strong> or at our table in <strong><em>The View Tastings</em></strong> section!</p>', 'date' => '2015-04-22', 'image_id' => '1321', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-04-22 13:16:44', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-04-22 13:43:01', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1321', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '876798741', 'name' => 'LWF 2015 Image.png', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'png', 'size' => '101007', 'width' => '743', 'height' => '513', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-04-22 13:42:10', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-04-22 13:42:11', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1278', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/04/876798741.png', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 3 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '27', 'title' => 'Friuli's Leading Lady', 'slug' => 'friuli-s-leading-lady', 'teaser' => 'Our four new wines from Serena Palazzolo of Ronco del Gnemiz in Northeastern Italy show remarkable varietal style and character and are outstanding expressions of their terroir.

We would therefore like to take this opportunity to give you a round up of the latest bout of Austrian success...', 'content' => '<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>HUBER</strong></span><br />Earlier this month we were delighted to hear that Markus Huber, the young, dynamic winemaker from the Traisental in Lower Austria, was awarded the title of <strong>Falstaff's Winegrower of the Year</strong>!!! Markus' 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 as an internationally acclaimed leading producer and ambassador of the region, with a particular focus on purity, terroir and endless complexity. The editorial staff of Falstaff magazine expressed their admiration of the way Huber captures the particular Traisental terroir of limestone soils, cool climate and the River Danube: ‘It’s quite impressive, the way Markus Huber is able to articulate the particular “flavour” of the Traisental’s meagre limestone conglomerate soils and cool climate in his wines. For him, these elements of terroir translate as a matter of course.’<br />At 20 years old Markus became responsible for the family winery, where three quarters of the vineyard area is dedicated to Gruner Veltliner but his Riesling also offers an unmistakable expression of Traisental. ‘I am inspired anew every day by the beauty and the natural surroundings of the Traisental,’ says Markus Huber, ‘if I am able to express the unique nature of my home in the wines, and communicate this to the consumer – well, this makes me very happy.'<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/huber">here </a>to discover more about Huber and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>PFAFFL</strong></span><br />Siblings Roman Josef Pfaffl and Heidemarie Fischer with their 170 acres of vineyards spread across the Weinviertel region and around the capital Vienna, swept the board of awards this year, with a plethora of wines awarded over 90 points by the Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson. Nearly every wine from their complete range has been awarded this excellent high score by one or more critic! Their Grüner Veltliner Reserve <em>Hommage</em> was given an outstanding 95 points by both Falstaff and the Wine Enthusiast. All the wines on our list performed excellently, with Falstaff awarding 92 points to Grüner Veltliner Hundsleiten Weinviertel DAC and 91 points to Grüner Veltliner Haidviertel Weinviertel DAC and both their blends Wein.1 and Wein.2 were rated in the top 10 of the magazine Genuss & Wein Pur.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/pfaffl">here </a>to discover more about Pfaffl and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>TSCHIDA</strong></span><br />2015 is now the fifth year that Hans Tschida has won the IWC Sweet Winemaker of the Year award. His unbelievable consistancy in quality has won him a total of 40 IWC gold medals, 36 silver medals and four bronze medals as well as 19 trophies since 2010.<br />Hans cultivates 30 hectares surrounding Burgenland's quaint winemaking town of Illmitz on the right bank of Neusiedlersee, where his main grape varieties are Welschiesling, Chardonnay, Sämling 88 (Scheurebe), Muskat Ottonel, Traminer and Pinot Blanc. It is a place that seems to have been created to produce great sweet wines, with foggy autumn mornings giving way to dry sunny afternoons, producing perfect conditions for the development of noble rot.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/tschida">here</a> to discover more about Tschida and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>JOHANNESHOF</strong><strong> REINISCH</strong></span><strong><br /></strong>Excellent results were awarded by the Wine Enthusiast to the Johanneshof Reinisch estate in Tattendorf, in the Thermenregion wine-growing area of Lower Austria. Specialising in local grape varieties and traditions, the Reinisch family has its own vine nursery, cultivating indigenous grape varieties such as Rotgipfler and Zierfandler in their Gumpoldskirchen vineyards. Across the globe, there are roughly only 100 hectares (247 acres) remaining of these two indigenous white varieties, making the Reinisch’s offerings an unusual and unique glimpse into Austria’s wine roots. A staggering 95 points was awarded to both their Holzspur Pinot Noir and Holzspur St Laurent 2012, with the Rotgipfler picking up 90 and a selection from the rest of their range walking away with 92, 93 and 94 points. The region's geothermal hot springs flow under the vineyards and contribute to excellent wine growing conditions for finicky varieties and the Reinisch organic status and philosophy ensures the wine's expression of the terroir is at its most pure.<br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/johanneshof-reinisch">here </a>to discover more about Johanneshof Reinisch and the wines we stock.<br /><br /><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WENINGER</span><br /></strong>Last, but certainly not least, is the outstanding producer Weninger who owns vineyard sites in both Austria and Hungary. Considered one of the pioneers of quality wine growing in Austria, Franz Weninger's approach to viticulture and winemaking is based on allowing the vines to find and reach their natural balance. The impact of his biodynamic winemaking since its implementation, has facilitated an incredible and consistant drive towards quality, and his continual experimenting and pushing the boundaries of modern winemaking establishes Weninger as a winery of utmost importance now and in the coming years. <br />Despite having won the 2014 Gault Millau Collection of the year, Franz tends not to enter his wines for awards. Besides, they really do speak for themselves... Exciting wines with an equally exciting philosophy. <br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/weninger-austria">here</a><a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/johanneshof-reinisch"> </a>to discover more about Weninger and the wines we stock.</p> <div align="center"> </div>', 'date' => '2015-07-28', 'image_id' => '1368', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-07-28 12:46:26', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-07-29 12:21:13', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1368', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '962851494', 'name' => 'Falstaff Image.jpg', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'jpg', 'size' => '30283', 'width' => '388', 'height' => '253', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-07-28 12:46:16', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-07-28 12:46:17', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1325', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/07/962851494.jpg', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 1 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '29', 'title' => 'Piedmont Rivals: North Vs South', 'slug' => 'piedmont-rivals-north-vs-south', 'teaser' => 'As Decanter awards Gold to Tenute Sella’s Lessona, Piedmont proves that its aptitude for producing outstanding wines from Nebbiolo goes far beyond Barolo and Barbaresco. ', 'content' => '<p>Having to compete with its world famous Southern Piedmont counterparts is no easy feat for the lesser known Piedmont wines made from Nebbiolo, and as such wines such as Lessona, Bramaterra, Boca, Ghemme, Gattinara and Carema do not often get the recognition they deserve. Generally speaking they do not have the power and flesh of Barolo but instead tend towards a more refined, fragrant and fresher style with a lighter, silkier structure. <span style="line-height: 1.4;">At Astrum, we have adored the stunning wines from Tenute Sella for over a decade now and are therefore delighted with their Gold Medal at this year’s Decanter World Wine Awards for their gorgeous Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo 2007. </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Tenute Sella has been a family-owned winery since 1671, which now produces around 90,000 bottles a year from their 22 hectares. Specialising in Lessona and Bramaterra, all their wines show great focus, precision of aromas and flavours and are exceptionally ageworthy.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">One of the smallest DOCs in Piedmont, Lessona wine must have a minimum of 75% Nebbiolo and the remaining percentage can be either Vespolina or Bonarda. Tenute Sella’s San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is a blend of 85% Nebbiolo and 15% Vespolina from 75 year old vines. </span><span style="line-height: 1.4;">San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is the symbol of Lessona and its history; it is a hill which reaches the highest point in the town of Lessona, and has been planted with vineyards since 1436 in sandy soils with an acid pH, typical of the Lessona DOC.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Tenute Sella's San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is fermented in stainless steel vats, macerated for 25 days and malolactic fermentation takes place the following spring when the wine is in oak. It spends 24 months in 25hl Slavonian oak barrels and 12 months in Allier Oak tonneaux and the aging potential for this wine is over 30 years. 2007 is an outstanding vintage due to the long growing season from a mild winter to a summer that was not brutally hot and was tempered by cooling breezes and allowing the grapes to reach excellent phenolic ripeness and maturity. Highly aromatic and full-bodied, the 2007 promises to age beautifully. </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 1.4;">"The 2007 Lessona San Sebastiano allo Zoppo is a beautiful, complete wine. Pliant and expressive, yet also intensely mineral, the 2007 is built on balance and harmony. The 2007 is generous and resonant, yet the firm tannins carry the fruit beautifully all the way through to the finish. Sweet tobacco, dried flowers and mint are some of the many notes that inform the finish. This is another great showing from Sella."

We are particularly excited as we have a second stand this year in the fine wine section <em>The View Tastings</em> and so more scope to show off our wines! Our main stand will take on the same format as last year. A number of our producers will join us for the fair and guide visitors from on-trade, off-trade and independents through a range of wines from their whole portfolio, not just those imported by Astrum. The producers featured this year are Sicily’s <strong>Benanti </strong>from the slopes of Mount Etna, <strong>Caldora</strong> and <strong>Cellaro</strong> from Abruzzo and Sicily, Barolo-producer <strong>Giacomo Borgogno e Figli</strong> with <strong>Serafini & Vidotto</strong> and their outstanding Bordeaux blends, and <strong>Huber </strong>with his gorgeous Grüner Veltliners from Austria. We also have Tuscany’s <strong>Principe Corsini</strong> for Chianti and organic producer <strong>Salcheto </strong>for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Piedmont’s Gattinara producer <strong>Travaglini</strong> and <strong>Verus</strong> from Slovenia with a beautiful selection of Pinot Gris, Furmint, Riesling, Sauvignon and Chardonnay. In the centre of the stand we will also have a selection of wines on show from across the rest of Astrum’s portfolio. <br /> <br /> Benanti is the newest addition to Astrum’s portfolio, joining this February. Their wines are excellent expressions of the particular microclimate of Sicily’s stunning active volcano and twin brothers Antonio and Salvino are furious custodians of the region’s indigenous grapes varieties of Carricante, Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese. Their wines combine a steely, saline minerality with a plethora of ripe fruits, driving acidity and intriguing complexity which is consistent not just in their single vineyard offerings, but even from their Etna Bianco and Rosso DOC. We are very proud to be Benanti’s new UK representative and given that the interest in their wines has already been overwhelming, the opportunity to taste these wines at the fair is not to be missed… <br /> <br /> Within the eclectic selection from the rest of our portfolio we will be showcasing two wines from our first ever South African producer who joined us at the start of 2015. It represents an exciting time for the development of Astrum as we branch out even further to discover wines in countries previously unrepresented in our portfolio. Scali is a winery in Northern Paarl, run by Willie and Tania De Waal whose great, great grandfather bought the land with a 45 carat diamond he found. Their wines are distinguishable due to the high proportion of shale in the soil which adds a certain minerality to the sleek tannins and fine red fruits abundant in the red wines; their Pinotage Sirkel being a perfect example, and adds a complexity to the ripe white fruit in their Chenin Blanc Sirkel, complimenting the bright, clean, classic style with a mineral edge. <br /> <br /> It is also an exciting year for our Vinvita range of Northern Italian wines as we have completely revamped the packaging. The new look coincided with the release of the 2014 vintages of the wines in this range; Prosecco Spumante DOC Extra Dry NV, Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese Rubicone and Trebbiano Rubicone. The decision to redesign the Vinvita packaging came about due to the growing success of this range of wines over the past couple of years. We felt the range needed and deserved a label design that better represented the consistent quality of these wines as it is a selection that offers excellent value both for quality reliability and for the typical varietal characteristics each wine embodies. The new design incorporates the use of high quality textured paper, embossed font and a more sophisticated use of foils and finishes. <br /> <br /> Looking forward to seeing you all either at our stand <strong><em>C26</em></strong> or at our table in <strong><em>The View Tastings</em></strong> section!</p>', 'date' => '2015-04-22', 'image_id' => '1321', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-04-22 13:16:44', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-04-22 13:43:01', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1321', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '876798741', 'name' => 'LWF 2015 Image.png', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'png', 'size' => '101007', 'width' => '743', 'height' => '513', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-04-22 13:42:10', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-04-22 13:42:11', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1278', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/04/876798741.png', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 3 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '27', 'title' => 'Friuli's Leading Lady', 'slug' => 'friuli-s-leading-lady', 'teaser' => 'Our four new wines from Serena Palazzolo of Ronco del Gnemiz in Northeastern Italy show remarkable varietal style and character and are outstanding expressions of their terroir. ', 'content' => '<p>Our four new wines from Serena Palazzolo of Ronco del Gnemiz in Northeastern Italy show remarkable varietal style and character and are outstanding expressions of their terroir. <br /><br />Ronco del Gnemiz wines are characterised by bright acidity in the whites, with a very careful use of oak, while the reds adopt a classic Bordeaux style and austere tannins. All wines are made with fully mature grapes which are never overripe, and subsequently the rich fruit is the focus for both reds and whites. Aided and advised by talented winemaker Christian Patat, it is the purity, length and display of true varietal style which places Serena’s wines among the gems of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, and make them a testament to her commitment and passion. <br /><br />Click <a href="http://www.astrumwinecellars.com/producers/details/ronco-del-gnemiz">here</a> to read the full story on Ronco del Gnemiz.<br /><br /><strong>Sauvignon Salici: </strong>This gorgeous Sauvignon shows less pungency than expected from the grape. There is a delightful minerality on the palate that gives the wine an interesting savoury, almost salty note to compliment the ripe white fruits and lighter green fruit notes. The wine is warm, rounded and powerful but equally refined with a fresh, focussed acidity. This is a truly fabulous and unique Sauvignon Blanc. <br /><br /><strong>Chardonnay Ronco Basso:</strong> A textured and rounded Chardonnay that is a excellent regional example of the grape. Clean, pure and brimming with exotic fruit and lemon balm with buttery notes on the finish. A slight minerality ensures freshness and balances the very well integrated hints of oak. <br /><br /><strong>Rosso di Jacopo: </strong>This velvety, purple wine of Merlot and Refosco shows both a powerful and complex nose with aromas of both ripe, sweet fruit and spices and a savoury restraint. The palate shows a similar fruit core with drying and spicy notes on the finish. The fine, dusty tannins are a good match for the round, silky structure. This is a wine with great focus. <br /><br /><strong>Rosso del Gnemiz:</strong> Each grape in the Rosso del Gnemiz is given it's chance to shine. The separate contributuion of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon join forces to make a wine with stunning aromas on the nose; a wealth of dark fruits and an intense core of perfumed berries. Additional lighter, savoury, graphite and creamy notes form intriguing layers within the fruit. On the palate, the wine is rounded yet still fairly restrained with great depth, texture and complexity. The savoury, graphite component is mirrored on the palate along with the central flavours of crushed berries. The tannins are fine grain and drying and the finish is extraordinarily long. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>', 'date' => '2015-01-16', 'image_id' => '1254', 'document_id' => null, 'status' => true, 'created' => '2015-01-16 09:12:57', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-01-16 10:30:19', 'modified_by' => '9' ), 'Image' => array( 'id' => '1254', 'parent_id' => '0', 'uid' => '930762770', 'name' => 'RDG Wines.jpeg', 'caption' => '', 'ext' => 'jpeg', 'size' => '524288', 'width' => '2260', 'height' => '2260', 'extract' => false, 'created' => '2015-01-16 10:05:51', 'created_by' => '9', 'modified' => '2015-01-16 10:05:51', 'modified_by' => '9', 'sorting' => '1211', 'status' => '1', 'path' => '2015/01/930762770.jpeg', 'tags' => '', 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => '0', 'video_thumbnail_ready' => '0', 'asset_folder_id' => '0', 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'Document' => array( 'id' => null, 'parent_id' => null, 'uid' => null, 'name' => null, 'caption' => null, 'ext' => null, 'size' => null, 'width' => null, 'height' => null, 'extract' => null, 'created' => null, 'created_by' => null, 'modified' => null, 'modified_by' => null, 'sorting' => null, 'status' => null, 'path' => null, 'tags' => null, 'crop_params' => null, 'flash_video_ready' => null, 'video_thumbnail_ready' => null, 'asset_folder_id' => null, 'object' => null, 'object_id' => null, 'object_alias' => null, 'google_drive_file_id' => null ), 'CreatedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ), 'ModifiedBy' => array( 'password' => '*****', 'id' => '9', 'user_group_id' => '2', 'uid' => '427621581', 'avatar_id' => '3578', 'email' => 'marketing@astrumwinecellars.com', 'first_name' => 'Saba', 'last_name' => 'Astrum Wine Cellars', 'locale' => 'eng', 'created' => '2012-11-01 13:56:44', 'created_by' => '4', 'modified' => '2022-06-27 12:23:38', 'modified_by' => '9', 'status' => '1', 'name' => 'Saba Astrum Wine Cellars' ) ), (int) 4 => array( 'News' => array( 'id' => '26', 'title' => '* Astrum Christmas Closure Dates *', 'slug' => 'astrum-christmas-closure-dates', 'teaser' => 'Don't miss that crucial Christmas order!!
