Chateau Montrose is a second Grand Cru Classé estate in St-Estephe and is considered one of the leading wine properties of the appellation. Located in the eastern half of the appellation just 800 metres from the Gironde estuary, the property’s proximity to the water provides a unique micro-climate that protects the vines from frost. The Grand Vin is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, that appears very powerful and austere in its youth, with a backbone of firm tannins that provides exceptional longevity.

Mount Edward is a small wine grower located in the heart of the Gibbston grape growing district, 25 km from Queenstown, in Central Otago, New Zealand. Started in 1998 Mount Edward has evolved from its simple beginnings, growing pure Central Otago pinot noir and riesling, to a winery exploring the boundaries of what is possible with sub regional vineyard sites and the region’s most promising varieties. Winemaker Duncan Forsyth has been making wine in Central Otago for the past 17 years and together with proprietor John Buchanan grows and makes Mount Edward’s wines. Mount Edward’s vineyards are in the Bannockburn, Lowburn and Gibbston sub regions. We use traditional and certified organic approaches to winegrowing, producing wines which reflect soil and season and all from unique single vineyard sites.

<p><b>Mount Langi Ghiran</b></p> Mount Langi Ghiran is a premium wine producer based in the Grampians region of Victoria. Originally planted as early as 1870, the original Shiraz vineyard was replanted in 1963 by the Frantin brothers. Intrigued by the high quality of the Fratin’s fruit, Trevor Mast joined Mount Langi Ghiran as a consultant winemaker in 1978. In 1987 Trevor, together with his wife Sandra Mast purchased the property and quickly established a strong following for the Langi Shiraz, one of Australia’s finest cool climate wines. The winery was sold in 2002 to the Rathbone family. Dan Buckle took over the winemaking from Trevor in 2003, continuing the vision and pursuit of quality that Trevor had set out. Tragically Trevor Mast passed away prematurely in 2012. His extraordinary vision continues to live on in the wines of Mount Langi Ghiran.
