Wein am Berg - Summer Editions 2024
Provence, France
Château Miraval
Miraval is located in the “heart of Provence, spanning 600 hectares.” The secluded valley offers an exceptional terroir, where the vines, at an altitude of 350 meters, enjoy warm days and cool nights, giving the wines freshness and balance. Today, the estate serves as the “summer residence of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie”, who have transformed it into a center for the arts – music, cinema, theater, local cuisine, and fine wine.
With “Hanni’s Rosé “, Johannes Kattus presents his first wine that stylishly combines the best of both worlds: the lightness and joy of life of the Côte d’Azur with the high standards of Austrian organic winegrowing. Together with award-winning winemaker Albert Gesellmann, Johannes Kattus has created a progressive rosé that sets new standards for wine lovers.
The Pfaffl family winery from the Austrian Weinviertel region is one of the most innovative and modern wineries in Austria and in 2024 the winery was honoured three times by wine critics as the best producer in the country. Together with his sister Heidemarie, Roman Pfaffl Junior manages the winery, which has now grown to 150 hectares.
The family business, which has been growing wine for generations and has received numerous awards, combines tradition and modern wine technology. The focus is on red wines and dry white wines, in particular Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. For red wines, local varieties such as Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch, St. Laurent and Pinot Noir as well as the international variety Syrah are vinified. The Paul Achs winery is also involved in the PINO 3000 wine project.
Ferrari Trento, founded in 1902 by Giulio Ferrari in Trento, is Italy’s leading luxury sparkling wine and has been run by the Lunelli family since 1952. Excellence is reflected in the faithfulness to the Metodo Classico and Trentino as a favoured terroir. Ferrari exports its sparkling wines to over 50 countries and accompanies important moments in culture, entertainment and sport.
At the family distillery JP-Feindestillerie Kössler, located at an altitude of 1000 meters, a love for tradition and the latest technology come together. Under the motto “Because quality counts,” only the finest fruits are used to produce high-quality spirits and liqueurs. The range includes classic varieties such as pear, plum, and apricot, as well as unique options like Jerusalem artichoke, beer brandy, whisky, rum, and gin. Natural fruit liqueurs, such as the latest creation “THE BEST OF THE GRANTA,” offer connoisseurs exceptional taste experiences.
These were the Summer Editions 2023 Women's power from Germany
Wine estate Dr. Heger / Ihringen at the Kaiserstuhl
Katharina and Rebecca Heger
The German wine estate Dr. Heger is known for wines from the Ihringer Winklerberg and Achkarrer Schlossberg sites. Both are among the warmest sites in Germany and are of volcanic origin. The winery Dr. Heger is managed in the third generation by Joachim Heger and his wife, Silvia. Their two daughters also follow the family tradition and are active in the company today. Rebecca is jointly responsible for the development of the wines, and Katharina is involved in the areas of marketing.
The Georg Breuer winery in Rüdesheim enjoys an excellent reputation for its unique and noble wines. In particular, it is Theresa Breuer, the 3rd generation of the family business, who ensures that each drop is distinctive with her expertise and passion. The cultivation of the grapes on the steep vineyards along the Rhine gives the wine an incomparable touch. Gentle processing and a long ageing period in barrels create a harmonious interplay of fruitiness and minerality. An absolute must for lovers of excellent German Rieslings.
The wine estate Rappenhof in Rheinhessen has been in the Hirsch/Muth family since 1604 and is now run by the 12th and 13th generations of Klaus Muth and his daughter Elisabeth. Before Elisabeth Muth joined the winery, she studied architecture and worked as an architect for several years. Through her, the focus in the winery has returned from the general to the detailed, which is certainly due to her architectural past. The vineyards extend along the Rhine-Hessian Rhine front.
