<p><span>Planted in 1974 at Glenora, near the top end of the Derwent River, Gerald and Sue Ellis purchased Meadowbank in 1976 and have, over the years expanded the vineyard to its present 42ha. And while some good wines were made over the years under the label, most of the fruit was contracted to Accolade with some of it going to Bay of Fires where Peter Dredge was establishing a name for himself as one of Australia&rsquo;s best young winemakers. Dredge left Accolade in 2015 to both consult and begin his own Dr Edge brand and Gerald Ellis wasted no time seeing if Peter would be interested in both becoming a partner and the winemaker at Meadowbank.&nbsp; The rest, as they say, is history and the numerous golds and trophies at wines shows around the country are testament to just how good these wines are now.</span></p>

Château Margaux is a renowned 1er Cru Classé (first growth) estate in Bordeaux. With its roots reaching back beyond the 16th Century, the property is steeped in history. Originally known as "La Mothe de Margaux" the name of the estate has evolved over the centuries. In 1705, the London Gazette advertised the first auction of Bordeaux’s top estates, featuring 230 barrels of ‘Margose’. When Thomas Jefferson ordered the great 1784 vintage, he listed it at the top of the Bordeaux hierarchy. Its exalted reputation was further ratified by its designation as a 1er Cru Classé estate in the 1855 Classification. In 1978 Château Margaux was acquired by the Mentzelopoulos family and since then under the winemaking leadership of Paul Pontallier, its quality and reputation has soared to even greater heights. Château Margaux has 82 hectares under vine, of which 75% of the holding is Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% is Merlot complemented by small plantin

<p>Located in the heart of the Valpolicella district of Veneto, Quintarelli is a renowned family wine estate with a near cult-like status. Founder and patriarch the late Giuseppe Quintarelli was known as the &lsquo;Master of the Veneto&rsquo;. He built his reputation by crafting small quantities of top quality wine made to the highest standards of perfection and released only when ready to drink.

<p>Sister-and-brother owners Anne and Antoine Malassagne are the great-grandchildren of Armand-Rapha&euml;l Graser. They took over in 1993 from their father and in just over twenty years, they have quietly yet confidently transformed AR Lenoble into one of the jewels of the Champagne region. Anne and Antoine manage every aspect of the business personally, supported by a team of 12 individuals spread between the vineyards, the winery and the offices. They complement each other perfectly, Antoine having a natural capacity to take care of the vineyards and craft the wines while Anne naturally finds herself drawn to administrative management and communication. Both of them travel the world extensively. AR Lenoble is 100% family-owned and 100% independent. We do not answer to anyone except ourselves.</p>
