    my discoveries and choices this year:

    1.  Château Batailley (France, Bordeaux).

    Together with Château Trotte Vieille and other estates, it is a part of Borie-Manoux group, which was founded in 1870. Thus, it’s one of the biggest and oldest family owned French wine retailing companies. Impressively, Château Trotte Vieille  has some of the oldest grapevines of Bordeaux, as some of them are pre-Phylloxera, and thus more than 140 years old.

    • Château Trotte Vieille 1er Grand-Cru Classé “B” AOC Saint-Emilion, 2012.
    2.  Scheiblhofer (Austria, Burgenland).

    Recently, I visited and learned about this exquisite wines directly at the winery, so certainty was happy to see them at the wine fair and add a few bottles to my wine collection:

    • Big John Cuvée Reserve
    • Blaufränkisch Jois
    • Praittenbrunn Burgenland

    You may be interested to learn more about Scheiblhofer -> SCHEIBLHOFER WINE, AUSTRIAN DELIGHT AND SENSATION.

    3.  Staatskellerei Zürich (Switzerland, Zurich). 

    It is one of the largest wine producers in German-speaking Switzerland. The company knowingly combines over 150 years of wine tradition with the latest wine-making technologies. The Staatskellerei Zurich buys and processes the grapes from 90 different producers throughout the canton of Zurich. It is also my favourite regional wine, that I believe has a potential to be appreciated both nationally and internationally.

    • Pankraz Sauvignon Blanc
    • Solaris Demeter, Chorb Rheinau
    • ÉO Noir
    • Compleo Rosé
    4.  Gialdi, Brivio (Switzerland, Ticino). 

    These wine cellars, partly built into the mountain, use the air currents that circulate in the Monte-Generoso-Massiv. Therefore, ensuring a constant temperature throughout the year and an ideal climate for wine storage.

    • Bianco Rovere, Ticino DOC
    • 2013 36 Trentasei, Merlot, Ticino DOC

    Interesting fact,  Gialdi is also producing white wine from red Merlot grapes (Terre Alte Bianco). It is very fresh and fruity wine, with delicate mineral finish.

    5.  Torremilanos (Spain, Ribera del Duero).

    The winemaking tradition of Torremilanos dates back to 1903. Moreover, this family owned winery has the Organic and Biodynamic certificates and exceptional quality wines.

    • Torremilanos Crianza
    • Torre Albéniz Reserva
    • Cyclo, Finca Torremilanos
    6.  Frescobaldi (Italy, Tuscany). 

    It is a renowned family owned Italian winery with over 700 years of wine history. I always enjoy discovering new fine wines of the brand.

    • Tenuta Perano, Chianti Classico DOCG
    • Tenuta Perano Riserva, Chianti Classico DOCG
    7.  Orin Swift Cellars (USA, California).

    This wine surely surprised me by its complexity and distinctive taste. Each bottle has an interesting story behind and signature style of the company.

    • Sauvignon Blanc Blank Stare
    • Abstract California
    • Zinfandel Signature Series
    • 2015 Papillon

    SO, These were some of my favourites this year. You are also welcome to share your experience in the comments below.
