Suppliers
Selecting and obtaining a world class portfolio of wines is a task that takes lots of time, resources and, most of all, a genuine passion for wine!
Needless to say we have built up contacts with many outstanding suppliers. Below we introduce some of them - although, if you are a wine lover many of them will need no introduction to you!
Weingut Tesch
Dr. Martin Tesch, following a Ph.D. in microbiology, took over the family winery (which dates back to 1723) more than 15 years ago.
By 2002 he was into an overhaul of the winery, abandoning the poorer-producing north-facing vineyards and getting rid of all varietals except riesling and pinot noir.
The area was now just 20 hectares, and emphasis shifted to single vineyard bottlings, all to achieve the highest quality possible. Continuous high ratings proved that it was all successful.

The wine cellars the since should become famous, were constructed around that time. Today, Castello De Bolgheri is one of the finest names in wine.
