His small revolutions in the cellar fascinated experts, starting with Veronelli, and brought Hauner's Malvasia to the tables of prestigious restaurants, in Italy, France,<br />the United States, Great Britain and Japan. In the 1980s, with the construction of a modern cellar, production was expanded, and alongside the Malvasia, Salina Bianco,<br />Salina Rosso and Antonello were born, a product of great lineage aged in barriques. aged in barriques.

The Sauternes and Barsac AOCs are located south of Bordeaux, specifically in the Graves. Both AOCs date back to 1936. The area known as Sauternais comprises five<br />communes: Barsac, Bommes, Fargues, Preignac and Sauternes; while that of Barsac exclusively comprises the commune from which it takes its name. It is worth noting<br />that this specification allows Barsac producers to name their wines both Barsac and Sauternes AOC (both are often mentioned on the label), while Sauternes producers can<br />only name their wines Sauternes AOC. The area's soils are of alluvial origin with a good presence of limestone. What gives this area its unique characteristics is the<br />microclimate created by the Garonne and Ciron rivers and its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.<br />grapes, creating a unique concentration. The varieties used for the AOC Sauternes and Barsac are: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.<br />The quality of the wines produced in these areas has a long history, in fact already in 1855 Napoleon III, drawing up the first classification of Crus, recognised Château<br />d'Yquem as the only Premier Cru Supérieur located outside the Medoc, followed by two other categories: Premier Cru (11 Châteaux) and Deuxième Cru (15 Châteaux).<br /><br />Château Filhot<br /><br />Varieties: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle.<br /><br />Vineyards: The Château Filhot vineyards are located south of the village of Sauternes on the<br />southwest-facing slopes.<br /><br />Vinification: the harvest is carried out manually with several passages through the vineyards.<br />Fermentation takes place in 50-hectolitre stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature and lasts 10 to 30 days.<br />controlled temperature and lasts between 10 and 30 days depending on grape variety and concentration.<br />Subsequently (10 months after fermentation) a light filtration takes place<br />(no sterile filtration), while approximately 14 months after fermentation the<br />blending takes place. Ageing: lasts approximately 2 years in oak barrels from the forest of<br />Allier of which 1/3 new.<br /><br />Characteristics Château Filhot has hints of ginger, orange, apricot, mango and papaya.

Weinlaubenhof Kracher is located south-east of Vienna in Burgenland, a region characterised by gravelly soils with varying limestone content transported by the Danube<br />River. The presence of this river together with Lake Neusiedl creates a warm humid climate ideal for the formation of noble rot on the grapes produced in the area. Kracher is<br />based in Illmitz, on the Hungarian border, and has been run since 2007 by Alois' son Gerhard Kracher, with the help of his wife Yvonne: it is Austria's leading winery for<br />sweet wines. The varieties used are Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Traminer, Scheurebe, Muskat-Ottonel, and in some vintages also Zweigelt. Kracher harvests and vinifies<br />small batches, using a number series to distinguish them: a higher number corresponds to a higher sugar concentration in the wine. Two types of wine are produced: Cuvée,<br />sweet wines of medium concentration, Beerenauslese and Eiswein; Kollektion, very concentrated sweet wines produced according to two different methods: Zwischen den<br />Seen (traditional with fermentation in steel or wooden barrels) and Nouvelle Vague (modern with the use of new barriques). WEINLAUBENHOF KRACHER has also started a<br />collaboration with the Liliac Winery in Transylvania, in order to exploit the climatic peculiarities of the Lechinta region that are optimal for the production of Eiswein.<br /><br />Variety: Welschriesling<br /><br />Vineyards: Weinlaubenhof Kracher is located south-east of Vienna in Burgenland, a region characterised by gravelly soils with varying limestone content transported by the<br />River Danube.
