	Ata Rangi (New Zealand) "When I asked winemakers to name New Zealand's greatest producers, one name kept coming up: Ata Rangi, meaning 'new beginning'. " -Neal Martin (e-Robert Parker.com). Clive Patton was a pioneer in Martinborough, planting his vines in 1980. Since then Ata Rangi has established itself the world over as a leader in New Zealand wines. Their Pinot Noirs have three times won the coveted Bouchard-Finlayson Trophy for Best Pinot Noir at the International Wine and Spirit Competition in London.

	Butterfield Station (California) Butterfield Station strives to have enjoyment in the everyday and the wines embody this ideal. The award winning wines are delicious and versatile with nice aromas, great flavors and good balance. Varietally driven, Butterfield Station wines have an excellent balance of fruit and oak. When you pour a glass of Butterfield Station, the California coastal influences and rolling golden hills are never far. Whether you are looking for a delicious Chardonnay with bright fruit and a touch of oak, a rich Cabernet Sauvignon with balance and structure, a Merlot with soft, supple fruit, or a rich Shiraz with a lingering finish, you have found a terrific family of wines.

	Four Sisters (Australia) Four Sisters is the creation of Trevor Mast, owner and winemaker at Mount Langi Ghiran, world famous for its Langi Shiraz. One year his four daughters created the wine label design as a birthday surprise. Delighted with the label mock-up and his daughters' plans for a wine aptly named Four Sisters, Trevor initially crafted a small production wine from the vineyard growing behind the fmaily home. However, with the positive response from all who tried the wine and heard the story behind it, Four Sisters is now a successful brand with a range of five class Australian varietals: Shiraz, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, and Chardonnay.

	Tahbilk (Australia) Established in 1860 Tahbilk is one of Australia's most beautiful & historic wineries. Located in the Nagambie Lakes region of central Victoria (120kms north of Melbourne), one of the nation's premium viticultural areas, the property comprises some 1,214 hectares of rich river flats with a frontage of 11 kms to the Goulburn River and 8 kms of permanent backwaters & creeks. Vineyard plantings extend back to Tahbilk's founding with original pre-phylloxera Shiraz vines still surviving from 1860 - an eponymous wine produced from them since 1979. Tahbilk is further blessed with an abundance of further "old vine" plantings including Shiraz from 1933, Cabernet Sauvignon back to 1949 and Marsanne from 1927.

	Valcantara (Spain) Valcantara comes from the family-owned bodega founded in 1963 by Manuel Piquer Guimera. It is located in Muel, Carinena, a place shaped by art and tradition. Their aim to integrate tradition and new technology has led to recognition in various national wine competitions. The Old Vine Garnacha is a fruit-focused wine that sees no oak and is agreeable and easy-to-drink. Download Valcantara Shelftalkers Download Valcantara Case/Stack Card
