Chasing History on Montorge – Domaine du Mont d’Or
Laid end to end, the dry stone walls on the hill of Montorge would run for about fifteen kilometres. They hold up 220 terraces and 24 hectares of vineyard on a slope that, in places, reaches a gradient of 75 per cent. Few people would attempt to build something like that today. In 1848, somebody did. The post Chasing History on Montorge – Domaine du Mont d’Or appeared first on Great Wine Capitals .

The Tanks Tom Built – Church Road Winery
There is a set of concrete tanks under the ground at Church Road that no longer hold any wine. They were built to. For decades they did, and the man who filled them, Tom McDonald, is the reason most people who know anything about New Zealand wine know the name Hawke's Bay at all. The tanks are still there. That, more than anything on the tasting list, is what makes this place worth the detour. The post The Tanks Tom Built – Church Road Winery appeared first on Great Wine Capitals .

The Blue Sheep in the Vineyard
The K.&K. Dautermann Winery is a typical family-run winery in Rheinhessen, producing excellent red wines in Ingelheim, the ‘red wine town’. Perhaps it isn’t quite so typical after all: their son, Klaus Dautermann, was born with Down’s syndrome – which is why the issue of inclusion plays such a significant role at the winery.

Ventozelo Hotel & Quinta – Where the Douro Explains Itself
The road to Ventozelo does not make things easy. From Porto it is the better part of two hours upriver, the final stretch a switchback along the N222 above the left bank of the Douro, where the hills fall away in terraces so steep they look less farmed than sculpted. By the time you reach the gate the estate lies in the parish of Ervedosa do Douro, in the municipality of São João da Pesqueira, you have already absorbed the first thing the place wants to teach you: that the landscape came before the wine and shaped everything that followed.

Doña Paula Winery: Where the Andes Meet a Living Philosophy
In 1997, a small team of viticulturists and enologists set out to achieve what was, at the time, a quietly radical goal: owning every single vine they worked with. While their initial plans focused heavily on cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon, it was Malbec that ultimately proved its extraordinary potential on this land, paving the way for their inaugural vintage.
