Piemonte

Roberto Voerzio forged away from the mainstream many years ago, to follow his unswerving and determined belief that great wine can only be grown in the vineyard. His estate covers about 10 hectares in total, situated in some of the very finest sites of La Morra, and is cultivated organically. Roberto tends each and every vine himself, adjusting every stage in the viticultural cycle to the individuality of each plant, severe green harvests and bunch trimming, tiny yields, vinification accompanied by the sounds of Led Zeppelin, micro vinification units and some of the best vineyard land in the world. This can only be Roberto Voerzio, the man who is now too maverick even for the ‘Langhe In’, his wines are now as cultish as the music played when making them, and rightly so.

In 2002 he made no Barolo at all, and it is this integrity that has led him to become one of the few icons of the winemaking world.

Dog Point Vineyard

Marlborough

James Healy and Ivan Sutherland left Cloudy Bay in 2003 after many years service as winemaker and vineyard manager respectively, to make wine from Ivan’s Dog Point Vineyard.

The name Dog Point is derived from the scrub covered hill, overlooking the Wairau Plains, designated by the early European settlers as a place where shepherds’ dogs who had got lost, or wandered off, took refuge. They
