Summer in the Vineyard
| By Davide Vignato
Nestled among volcanic hills on the border between Vicenza and Verona, Davide Vignato's winery invites visitors to experience the region's terroir firsthand. The tour guides guests through rows of vines where Durello is cultivated in ancient volcanic soil, continues into the cellar to witness the winemaking craft, and concludes with a guided tasting of estate wines. Located just minutes from the Vicenza-Verona motorway, it's an ideal destination for those travelling through the Veneto region who seek an authentic connection to the landscape, nature, and wine.
"I look forward to sharing with you an authentic experience involving the territory, nature and wines that reflect their origins."
A Very Good View
| By Malcolm Jolley
Burgundy's Mâconnais region is experiencing renewed attention and acclaim under producers like Baptiste Burrier of Joseph Burrier and Château Beauregard. In a recent tasting, wine writer Malcolm Jolley explores how terroir and technique distinguish the region's wines — from elegant Mâcon Villages to complex Pouilly Fuissé Premier Crus — each expressing its own character through limestone-rich slopes, citrus brightness, and surprising tropical notes. The Burrier family's work extends from Mâcon into neighbouring Beaujolais, representing another rising star in French wine.

The Story of Syrah
| By Kleinood Farm
Every great wine begins as a story - shaped by land, history, and the quiet patience of those who tend it. In Kleinood’s three-part chronicle, The Story of Syrah, poetry and provenance intertwine to reveal how their Tamboerskloof Syrah came to life.
“But the precious things in life, more often than not, have a story to tell. Perhaps it is when things are truly sublime we want them to have a more magical origin… So it is with wine.”

The Final Chapter in the Story of a Challenging Vintage
| By Davide Vignato
The 2025 vintage tested Davide Vignato's estate in ways few growers face. A severe hailstorm on August 2nd destroyed up to 80% of the harvest in some vineyards, followed by another damaging storm in late September. After careful stewardship and recovery work, only a handful of labels will be produced this year—including Primo Incontro, El Gian, and Orso Gentile—each carrying the imprint of an unforgiving season.
