OUR SPRING SELECTION<br />
THE SECOND TASTING SESSION FOR 2024 GETS UNDERWAY<br />
After a first tasting session which started at the beginning of January and ended at the end of<br />
March, the second session got underway on April 2. Building on our appeal in France, along<br />
with Italy, Spain and Portugal, we have been able to continuously explore new opportunities in<br />
the wine regions of Eastern Europe, with trade exhibitions in February (Wine Paris) and March<br />
(ProWein) providing a major boost. South Africa and South America are developing well and<br />
we also continue to clearly focus on our international development, this time with our sights<br />
squarely set on Australia and New Zealand.<br />
KNOLFONTEIN, THE VINEYARD BELONGING TO THE DU TOIT FAMILY AT THE FOOT OF THE KASTEELBERG (SWARTLAND).<br />
THE BEST OF SPRING 2024<br />
Our selection has been tasted and rated by our tasting panel and is featured on pages 103 to 114. As always,<br />
we have chosen to present you wines by country, (GERMANY, ITALY...), then by appellation in each<br />
region, with each winery listed in alphabetical order and in descending order of the scores awarded. This<br />
issue features our selection of Sancerre, Crémants d’Alsace, South African wines from Swartland, wines<br />
imported into the German market, a very eclectic line-up from Piedmont, and a delicious introduction to<br />
South American sparkling wines to round it all off!<br />
