Malanser Riesling Sylvaner AOC Von Salis, Graubünden, CH
The town of Maienfeld, the third town on the Rhine, is known for its high-quality wines, Johanna Spyri’s Heidi story and the Maienfeld horse races.

Fläscher Chardonnay ,,META,, AOC Von Salis, Graubünden, CH
Motivated by his enthusiasm for good wines, Andrea Davaz founded von Salis AG with two friends in 1994. We have been passionate about wine for over 25 years now and seek out the best wines from all over the world for our customers. The aromas of the two grape varieties combine wonderfully in the wine. The delicate floral scents of Viognier combine with the quince and pineapple tones of Chardonnay to create a fascinating, lively overall picture. On the palate, the Meta surprises with its power, which is accompanied by a lot of creamy smoothness and gives the wine an almost Mediterranean charm. It finishes very balanced and long on aromas of quince and flowers.

Basa Blanco DO, Telmo Rodriguez, Rueda, ES
In 1967, Jaime Rodríguez bought the successful Finca Remelluri in Rioja. When his son Telmo began studying oenology, the winery’s path seemed to be mapped out. But, as we all know, things usually turn out differently: after various stations, the enterprising Telmo set about turning the Spanish wine world on its head. A scent of citrus fruit and crisp apricot. Refreshing and appealing on the palate, with gentle citrus and peach flavors and a slightly spicy note with a hint of blossom honey. A great aperitif wine!

Meursault 1er Cru AC, Château Blagny, Louis Latour Burgund, FR
Respect for the terroir, extensive knowledge in the vineyard and cellar and a minimum of chemical fertilizers for healthy soils. The approximately five hectares of vineyards in Grand Crus and Premier Crus vineyards of the Louis Latour family business in Beaune, a trading company founded in 1797, are cultivated according to this credo. The red wines capture the qualities and subtle aromas of the Pinot Noir grape; they are elegant and impress with a perfect balance of fruit and tannins. Structured, full, balanced white wines reflect the terroir in the power of the Chardonnay grape with beautiful freshness and complex aromas. Culinary recommendation: Poultry, fish

Contador DOCa, Bodegas Contador Rioja, ES
Delight yourself and your guests with the delicious Contador Rioja DOCa from 2010! The wine-growing areas of the Spanish winery Bodega Contador extend across the landscapes where the experienced winemaker produces this red wine.

This year, too, it comes with a dense purple color, an explosion of fruit aromas and spices on the nose. An interplay of elegance, juiciness and power with a never-ending interplay of aromas on the finish. It definitely needs a little more time in the bottle.

The château and vineyards have been in the family for four generations and cover an area of 23 hectares.

Intense, rich, supple fruitiness, a deep red color and a firm tannin. The red wine tastes best at a slightly chilled 16°-18°C. The recommended drinking period for this wine is as follows: 3 – 15 years
