If you would to use one word to describe Freddy Mugnier personality only, you probably would end up with the: modest characterization. He doesn’t talk too much this is certain but let the wines talk for himself and they do talk…you can bet on it: his “wine is bottled poetry”.

I like unique grape varieties, especially when they have a certain style, quality and can not be found anywhere else. Deep in the county of Zala, official name is Balaton-melléke (I hope they don´t changed it, while I’m writing this) wine region is a family estate which produces the Pintes, the Veress Family- Vinum Veress Estate.

… or as the official name goes the Calchaqui Valley. The whole region has an elevation of 1700 to 2800 meters and has 4000 ha of vineyards. The scenery is spectacular this has to be mentioned right from the beginning, vineyards tucked between breathtaking mountains, amazing roughed landscape. High altitude wine making, with no doubt as probably the highest commercial vineyard the Finca Colomé around Molinos /Payogasta/ on 3002 m is here.

One of the great foreign investment in Mendoza, in Luján de Cuyo is Alta Vista from the Edonia group which owns several other properties around the world, notably the ones in Bordeaux (St-Emillion, St Estèphe), Champagne and Hungary (Tokaj). They all share at least one common thing, they’re all make good wine.
