Hailing from the sunny Nelson region of New Zealand, Neudorf Vineyards have an incredible reputation for producing high quality wines. Established in the late seventies by Tim and Judy Finn, who both have a passion for organic winemaking, all their blocks in Moutere are certified or in conversion. Renowned for their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Tim and Judy have played a key role in establishing Nelson as a quality winemaking region.

Bodega Mustiguillo
From the heart of Valencia comes Bodega Mustiguillo. The first Spanish estate to be awarded an IGP within a DOP in 2003, Mustiguillo encapsulates winemaking in the Mediterranean. In recognition of the estate’s unique location, altitude, soil, climate and surroundings, Finca Terrerazo, one of the estates of Mustiguillo, was awarded a DOP in 2010, making it the first Vino de Pago single estate wine DO in the Mediterranean. With a focus on organic winemaking, their wines are an expression of the sea and mountains that surround the vineyards, focusing on regional varieties like Bobal and Merseguera.

Marie-Helene and Michel bought Domaine Felines in 1983 when production of Picpoul was dominated by cooperatives. Over the years, they built up a huge reputation for producing some of the best Picpoul in the region and Marie-Helene was the first woman to produce and make Picpoul. Now run by their daughter Claude, the estate now has a huge focus on sustainable winemaking and protecting the plush landscapes surrounding the vineyards, including the nearby bird reserve and the beautiful Thau Lagoon.
