BRITISH COLUMBIA PORTFOLIO 

SPRING/SUMMER 2008

Foreward 

In September 1967, my father Carmine D’Onofrio opened the family shoe import business 

in earnest with the signature location on Vancouver’s Commercial Drive, the focal point of 

the city’s Italian community. With an unwavering dedication to quality, value and service, 

Kalena’s Shoes thrived. Over the years, many in the Italian community voiced their opinion 

that with the containers of shoes already coming over from Italy, perhaps the family business 

should expand to include wines from the homeland. After all, the selection of Italian 

wines in the market at the time did leave room for improvement. In 1991, Stile Wines 

was born. 

The name ‘Stile’ ―pronounced ‘Stee-lay’ in Italian‖, corresponding to its English counterpart 

‘style’, was chosen not only to represent the stylish wines that became part of the portfolio, 

but also to reflect the culture of incorporating wine stylishly as part of enjoying life to the 

fullest. 

Over time, the list of highly regarded Italian producers working with Stile grew, to the extent 

that Stile Wines became synonymous with Italian wine. To this day, we are proud to 

say that we offer one of the very finest portfolios of Italian wine in Canada. 

Along the way, we have strived to add products from reputable producers from all over the 

world, always keeping in mind our goal of offering the absolute best possible quality and 

value. While we will undoubtedly always be viewed as an Italian specialist, we can now lay 

claim to being a truly diversified, international importer. 

My father passed away in 2005, but his spirit remains very much alive in all that we do. 

We are happy to know that the fine products that we bring to this special part of the world 

have brought joy and a real appreciation for the finer things in life to so many. 

With this in mind, we invite you to peruse the latest catalogue of fine offerings from our 

agency. 

Grazie e buon santé,

ANDREW PEACE 

Founded in 1975, Bodega y Cavas de Weinert is located in Lujan de Cuyo, 

Argentina´s cradle for top quality wines. The original 1890 Spanish colonial building, 

reminiscent of an old winery owned by the family Otero until 1920, catches the eye by 

its beauty, inviting those who pass by to know what it guards inside. 

Don Bernardo C. Weinert, founder and owner, could be defined as an entrepreneur. 

Born in a small German colony in Southern Brazil, he built his name around 

international transport in South America. Fascinated by the world of wine, he decided 

to found his own winery in Argentina with one unconditional philosophy: producing 

high quality wines. 

VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA 

The business began as a vineyard in 1980, then became a full fledged winery in 

1995. The first year grape intake of 3,000 tonnes has grown steadily each year to 

the 16,250 tonnes crushed in 2003, ranking it 17th in Australia. The winery is 14th 

largest based on export sales volume. 

Designed and constructed by Andrew Peace, the winery has an emphasis on an even 

flow of must and juice, with minimal oxygen contact to ensure maximum quality and 

fruit flavour retention. Despite its size, Andrew Peace Wines remains a family operation, 

with great care and attention paid to all facets of wine production. The results 

are consistent, robust wines with all of the character and flavour that wine lovers 

around the world have come to expect from vineyards Down Under. The new 1 litre 

Tetra Pak wines are a particularly exciting venture.

TWO HANDS 

BAROSSA VALLEY, AUSTRALIA 

Two Hands is one of Australia’s most decorated wineries, making its most sought after 

wines. The ‘two hands’ are Michael Twelftree and Richard Mintz, who formed the company 

in 1999 with the clear objective of making the best possible Shiraz wines from 

prized Shiraz producing regions within Australia. 

Michael Twelftree’s background included years of exporting Australian wine to USA and 

Asia, while Richard Mintz was a former CEO of one of Australia’s leading cooperages in 

the Barossa Valley. The two old friends set out in 2000 with just 17 tonnes of fruit 

from the McLaren Vale and Padthaway wine regions. From the start, the wines were 

well received with a healthy stream of reviews, culminating with Robert Parker’s 2::4 

declaration of Two Hands as ‘the finest negociant operation south of the equator’. 

Two Hands concentrates its efforts on sourcing the best fruit from the best Shiraz vineyards 

in Australia, working with its growers on achieving the full potential from each 

individual site. The results speak for themselves.

PIKES 

CLARE VALLEY, AUSTRALIA 

Englishman Henry Pike immigrated to South Australia in 1878, and settled 

in the small town of Oakbank in the Adelaide Hills. In 1886, he established 

the family brewing business called H. Pike & Co. This name became well 

known throughout South Australia for its quality beer, soft drink and tonic 

ale, and the company used the English Pike fish on the label, which remains 

to this day—a symbol of Pikes’ long heritage. 

The sale of the company did not end the family tradition. Henry Pike’s 

great grandson Edgar was well established in the wine industry, and his 

sons Andrew and Neil both followed in their father’s footsteps, establishing 

Pikes in 1984 in the beautiful Clare Valley. The winery and vineyards are 

situated in the historic and picturesque Polish Hill River sub region on the 

eastern side of the valley. The climate in this area is cooler and the soils 

are quite unique to the rest of the region, attributes that impart distinctive 

flavours and aromas to the wines. 

Riesling has become the flagship for which Pikes have become best known. 

Other varieties produced include Semillon, Viognier, Pinot Grigio, Cabernet 

Sauvignon and Shiraz. They have consistently met their goals of producing 

absolute top quality varietal wines—worthy of the longstanding distinctive 

fish logo that is still found on all Pikes wines.

CHATEAU PECH LATT (100% CERTIFIED ORGANIC) 

LANGUEDOC-ROUSSILLON, FRANCE 

The first vines at Chateau Peach-Latt, planted by the monks from the Lagrasse 

Abbey that was founded by Charlemagne, can be traced back to 784 A.D. Today, 

Chateau Pech-Latt is a 325 hectare estate, of which 100 acres are 

planted with vines. 

The winery is proud to rank among the pioneers in organic farming, a choice 

which stems from their aim to preserve a well balanced and sound 

environment. The vineyard is sparsely fertilized, and if so, only with organic 

products. Pesticides, weed killers and other synthetic fertilizers are banned. 

Thus, Pech-Latt enables wine lovers to maintain a healthy way of life and 

discover, on site in Lagrasse, an ideal natural environment, isolated and spared 

from pollution.

CHATEAU DE CARAGUILHES (100% CERTIFIED ORGANIC) 

Historically, the Corbières region has always been connected with winegrowers 

and the making of wine. As of the 12th century, the Abbey of Fontfroide was 

taken over by the monks of the Cistercian Order, highly skilled winegrowers who 

undertook to restore the art of the vine in the Corbieres once started by the 

Phoenicians and furthered by the Romans. 

So began the history of the domaine known as Caraguilhes. The famous chateau 

that one sees today was constructed in the early 17th century. The vines 

still grow in an ideal location known for its exceptional soil quality, with s mixture 

of clay and limestone. In 1935, the winery’s new owner became the only grower 

to refuse to use insecticides and weed killers or chemical fertilizers—well ahead 

of his time. Inspired by the same precision and philosophy, the same love of the 

soil and of authenticity, current owner Laurent Max continues this practice. 

Since 1990, the organic status of the wines of Caraguiles are formally guaranteed 

by ECOCERT.

CANTINA TOLLO 

*** WINNER GRAN VINITALY AWARD *** 

ABRUZZO, ITALY 

Abruzzo is a land where great wine has been made for many centuries. Writers 

and poets have sung its praise since the times of ancient Rome. Natural splendour 

thrives in Abruzzo, a region which stretches from the mountains to the sea, 

and the only in Europe to devote a third of its territory to nature reserves. In this 

paradise, Cantina Tollo was founded over 40 years ago with a passion for producing 

quality wines that embody the culture of Abruzzo. The gentle breeze from the 

Adriatic creates a wonderfully mild climate over the hills of Cantina Tollo, as the 

perfect amount of rain and sun helps to produce their signature Montepulciano, 

Trebbiano and Cerasuolo wines. 

Tollo is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life through a promise that they have 

always kept—that its wines tell a story, through aroma, emotion and memory.

PICHIERRI — VINICOLA SAVESE 

APULIA, ITALY 

The history of this firm is closely connected to the grandfather-figure Gaetano Pichierri, 

who farmed the fruitful vineyards of Primitivo. He refined his knowledge of winemaking 

in the wine growers' cooperatives of Sava, made famous by its oenologists Don Amerigo 

Mancini and Guido Calò. Right after the war, Gaetano guided the Pichierri family to 

start their own production of selected wines, leaving to his sons Cosimo, Vittorio, 

Roberto and Aldo the duty to continue the family’s great tradition. Constant quality improvement 

of Primitivo wine in dry and natural sweet types is the password for Pichierri 

Winery, permitting them to achieve high quality.

LIBRANDI 

CALABRIA, ITALY 

The Librandi Winery is headquartered in Ciro Marina, a small Calabrian town on the 

Ionian coast, south of the Gulf of Taranto. The area is naturally suited to vine growing, 

boasting excellent soil conditions and a favourable geographic position close to the sea 

with the Sila Mountains in behind, guaranteeing premium contrast between day and 

night temperatures. 

Librandi has grown grapes for four centuries, and began bottling in the 1950s. Management 

is firmly in family hands, with some technical collaboration with Donato Lanati, 

Professor of Oenology at the universities of Torino and Florence. 

Librandi is very well known and highly regarded for the production of exemplary wines 

from native grape varietals, especially the most ancient of Calabrian vines, Gaglioppo, 

known as ‘The Black Prince’, which grows as an elongated cluster of blue-black grapes 

with bright reddish reflections. It is known for producing wines of lush fruit character, 

long body, and ripe, rich finish.

FEUDI DI SAN GREGORIO 

CAMPANIA, ITALY 

Feudi di San Gregorio, a symbol of today’s rebirth of fine wine from the south of Italy, 

is dedicated to the rediscovery of the unique flavours of the Mediterranean. The 

crusade began in the mid-8:’s with the idea of rewriting the history of winemaking in 

the Irpinia region. The central concept was to invest in a real future for the great 

wines of the South by upholding local traditions and developing their latent potential. 

In other words, to take a fresh look at Campania and her native grape varieties— 

Aglianico, Fiano, Greco and Falanghina. Over the last ten years, Feudi di San 

Gregorio has come to represent the growing reputation of the wines of Irpinia. 

Ancient ties have been reinforced by a new interpretation of the potential of the 

south of Italy. The will and resources of two local families, united by a single passion, 

has breathed new life into this ancient land. These are modern wines with an 

ancient soul. They are authentic, while their traditional values are maintained 

through the use of modern technology, and impeccable quality standards.

VELENOSI 

LATIUM, ITALY 

THE MARCHES, ITALY 

Ercole Velenosi is an award winning winery founded in 1984 in the Ascoli Piceno province 

of the Marches region. It is well known for producing the best wines in the region. The 

vineyards are hillside clay soil with excellent exposure. The respect for tradition is apparent 

in the vineyard management and winemaking techniques of consulting winemaker Attilio 

Pagli. 

"Il Brecciarolo" is from the tiny area within the province of Ascoli—the only zone where 

Rosso Piceno can take on the "Superiore" designation. Aged in neutral French oak barrels, 

it is a typical blend of 55% Montepulciano and 45% Sangiovese. The heartiness of Montepulciano 

dominates, while Sangiovese lifts the aromatics and brightens the wine. Currant 

flavors, ripe fruit and spices dominate. Produced with the same grape blend, “Roggio Del 

Filare” is ‘the big brother’, showing huge aromas and flavours in its profile.

STEFANO FARINA 

Stefano 

Farina 

Azienda Agricola Di Majo Norante is located to the north of the Gargano in 

Molise on the estate of the Marquees Norante of Santa Cristina. Since the 

1800’s its ancestors have dedicated themselves to vine cultivation (ancient wine 

cellars are located under the main town square and the old palace in 

Campomarino). In 1968, a modern canteen was constructed, along with the 

first replanted vines in the Ramitello zone. This zone has northeastern exposure, 

constant summer breezes, a light limestone soil, and a slope toward the 

Scabolone and Madonna Grande valleys, combining to create a very favorable 

grape growing environment. 

Di Majo Norante uses only estate grown grapes, cultivated without the use of 

chemical or synthetic additives, yielding a product that can be considered 

“biological”. Passion and love for the grapes are combined with the most 

advanced technology in farming methods and production facilities. 

PIEDMONT, ITALY 

Giancarlo, Bruno and Gino Farina, sons of the founder, manage this family 

winery, located in Diano d'Alba, in the heart of Dolcetto country. Using grapes 

from 16 acres of their own vineyards, Stefano Farina creates modern styled

more animated guise, there is a family that has always been associated 

with wine: the Brovias. This prestigious winery, established in 1863, is settled

MASCARELLO 

Damilano is one of the historical Barolo producing farms, founded over a century 

ago by Guiseppe Borgogno, The tradition was kept up by his son-in-law Giacomo 

Damilano and with his children, until it was passed on to his four grandchildren, 

who very attentively manage their forefathers’ land today. The wines 

are renowned for their upright style and the estate is widely appreciated due to 

the strictness and passion that accompany all of the company’s activities. The 

vineyards are situated in the most famous crus of the Langa region: Cannubi, 

Liste, Fossati and Brunate, which are almost entirely cultivated with Nebbiolo da 

Barolo. 

The members of the Giuseppe Mascarello family have been growing wines for 

more than 150 years in the prime Barolo region of Castiglione Falletto, including 

the prestigious Monprivato area. They have built on years of family experience 

to the present day Mauro Mascarello, who began in 1970 to vinify the 

grapes grown on each single vineyard separately, starting with the Monprivato 

Nebbiolo. In 1985, the efforts paid off with international recognition of the highest 

order. The 1978 vintage Barolo emerged as the best wine in the Forum 

Vinorum in London, with the only perfect score, and a ranking higher than not 

only 27 other Italian DOC and DOCG reds, but also 56 Châteaux, Grand Cru 

and Premier Cru producers, including such celebrated Château names as 

Petrus, Margaux, Latour, Lafite, Mouton Rothschild and Haut-Brion. To this 

day, the spectacular Barolos of Mascarello are highly decorated and well 

sought after by top buyers around the world.

ARGIOLAS 

SARDINIA, ITALY 

Argiolas has firmly established itself as one of the very top producers from Sardinia, 

the newest critics’ darling region of Italy. Sardinia has followed in the footsteps of 

Sicily in making a name for itself through producing fabulously aromatic wines from 

indigenous grape varietals— at very fair prices. 

Argiolas’ history began in 1918, when Francesco Argiolas planted the first vineyard 

with the assistance of some returning Italian POWs. But it was Antonio Argiolas, 

whose great enthusiasm and experience in viticulture set the stage for greatness, 

buying new estates and setting up a modern farm. In the late 197:'s, Antonio’s sons 

Franco and Giuseppe reorganized the business in all aspects, from vineyards to cellars. 

They chose one of Italy's leading oenologists, Giacomo Tachis, who joined forces 

with oenologist Mariano Murru. Now three generations of the Argiolas family are 

together: patriarch Antonio (now 97 years old), his two sons and his grandchildren.

FERRARI 

TRENTINO - ALTO ADIGE, ITALY 

“The history of a wine lies in the history of the soil that nourishes the vines.” In 

1902, after several years studying winemaking and viticulture in France, Giulio 

Ferrari decided to challenge his French counterparts with his winemaking skills on 

his own land. In the process, he created a masterpiece. 

The leadership of Casa Ferrari was passed from the founder to the Lunelli family in 

1952. The names have changed, but the enthusiasm has remained the same. 

A century of history and Ferrari is the best selling, most recognized and most 

celebrated Italian spumante in the world. The year 2002 marked the 50th 

anniversary of the Ferrari-Lunelli hand off, and a new century has begun.

TENUTA SAN LEONARDO 

The history of Tenuta San Leonardo dates back at least 1500 years, with the return 

of prisoners from Trentino, who erected a chapel in honor of the patron 

saint of prisoners, Saint Leonard. In the 12th century, the Fratres Cruciferi, an 

order with adherents all over Europe and which remained at San Leonardo until 

1656, expanded grape growing and adopted a modern approach to viticulture at 

the monastery. Today, the ancient monastery hospice, which once gave shelter 

to the destitute, is now the cellar where the wines mature in barrels. 

The estate has witnessed many historical events, including acting as headquarters 

in both world wars; first, of the high command of the Italian 29th army corps 

in WWI (Austria made a formal request for an armistice to be held on the 

grounds), and in the Second World War, of the counterespionage section of the 

German high command on the Italian front. 

Present owners the Guerrieri Gonzaga family have taken advantage of the specific 

terroir to create Bordeaux-inspired blended wines, under the guidance of 

master winemaker Carlo Ferrini and consultant winemaker Giacomo Tachis, who 

is considered to be a genuine maestro of Italian winemaking through his creation 

of some of Tuscany’s most influential wines from the 197:s onwards. 

This talented pair ensures calculated ageing—at least six months in large format 

Slavonian oak, then 24 months in small French oak barrels—and masterful blending 

of each contributing varietal. This is followed by at least one year of bottle 

ageing. The results are consistently nothing short of spectacular.

vineyards are composed of selected clones of Sangiovese. The other red 

berry vines include mainly Merlot, some Cabernet Sauvignon and in the very 

young vineyards, some Syrah. All of Fattoria Lavacchio’s vineyards are 

100% certified organic by the European Union and Ecocert. 

Grape picking is carried out by hand according to old country traditions, for 

the best product quality. The limited production imposed by biological cultivation 

guarantees above all a better quality the year later. Products are 

only proposed in vintage years in which they reach their best researched 

characteristics. The composition of the land, rich in structure and marl, 

together with the climate of the area, contribute to the high quality level of 

our wines. These are recognizable for the typical mark which links this to 

the production territory.

The Carpineta Fontalpino vineyard has been owned by the Cresti family since the 

1960s. The name comes from references of historical place—CARPINETA (an 

area with trees with silver backed leaves characteristic of the area), and FONTAL- 

PINO (the fountain with the pine trees of Montaperti). The vineyard is located in 

the heart of Tuscany close to Siena, in a region that is rich in history, legends and 

love. The owners are sister Gioia—the oenologist—and brother Filippo—the vineyard 

cultivator and business director. They are aided by the rest of the Cresti 

family. With 19 hectares under vines, the winery has the luxury of a large selection 

of quality grapes to choose from to meet their consistently high standards.

MIONETTO 

THE VENETO, ITALY 

Few lands identify themselves like Valdobbiadene so totally and directly with a 

completely special "drinking philosophy". Try, for example, tasting a glass of 

Prosecco - the most renowned "offspring" of these hills. You will feel that you have 

been projected into a world which you believed lost forever, where life still proceeds 

at a liveable pace and where values remain unchanged: equilibrium and 

lightness, elegance and genuineness, delight in getting together and enjoying life. 

From Prosecco to Cartizze and many other straightforward, generous wines - 

the fascinating history of the vines and wines of Valdobbiadene has trodden a long 

path, but it has always been true to itself. You only need to travel along the 

Prosecco Road - the first enological route to have been created in Italy - to be 

aware of it all. In these places, the savours, nature, everything is still authentic 

and incomparable. It is in this land and with this singular tradition that an equally 

unique entrepreneurial story has become associated: that of the Mionetto family.

CA’ RUGATE 

In 1992, Bottega diversified to create Il Vino dei Poeti (Poets' Wine). These 

wines have taken Bottega in a new direction. Originality, creativity and quality 

have elevated this winery to the next level. Unique wines such as moscato, 

prosecco, and fragolino are the Cantina dei Poeti’s most beloved wines. 

Bottega’s Artist edge is clearly expressed in the exceptional presentation of its 

products, which invite one to taste the wines. 

Ca’ Rugate, established by the Tessari family in 1986, takes its name from the 

volcanic hills where most of the vineyards are to be found. The Ca’ Rugate vineyards 

cover 40 hectares, 30 of which are located within the commune of Monteforte 

d’Alpone in the rugged heart of Soave Classico, with 1: hectares in the 

commune of Montecchia di Crosara in nearby Valpolicella. Ca’ Rugate uses only 

indigenous grape varieties such as Garganega, and Trebbiano di Soave for white 

wines; and Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone for reds. 

The Soave wines of Ca Rugate are unique, produced from 100% Garganega 

grapes, without blending in Trebbiano or other inexpensive grapes, as is done for 

most Soave wines. They also utilize single vineyard production, resulting in wines 

that are among the best of their kind, with full, fresh fruit and hints of almonds.

The estate of Trabucchi has a total area of about 27 hectares, divided into 21 

hectares of vineyard and 6 hectares of olive groves, made all the prettier by the 

presence of 400 cypress trees, horse chestnut trees and rose bushes. 

Trabucchi is very well known for the production of wines of magnificent structure, 

richness and character. Their Valpolicella wines are ruby-red in appearance, 

with intense fragrances of fresh red fruit, blackcurrants and blackberries, 

and sumptuous, silky smooth flavours. The Amarone is quality of the highest 

order—rich, velvety and intensely fruity. Trabucchi wines are found in selected 

top restaurants and wine shops around the world.

The land on which Anna Spinato’s grapes are grown has been used for that same 

purpose since the 12th century. Wine was first produced there, on the banks of 

the Piave River, by the monks of the Sant’ Andrea Abbey. Even the Spinato logo tells 

of the family’s “passion and love for our culture and the tradition of winemaking.” 

Today, the wines reflect all the elegance and unpretentious sophistication that Anna 

Spinato herself is so well known for. From its most famous to its less well known 

yet no less extraordinary bottlings, Anna Spinato wines have been awarded medals 

at such events as Vinitaly, the Japan Wine Challenge, and MIWine of Milan. Indeed, 

the popularity of Anna Spinato’s wines is such that Spinato corks are embedded 

with a special microchip that guarantees the authenticity of every bottle.

winemaking experience came from La Rochelle, the traditional export harbour 

for the famous brandies of Cognac. This came full circle in 1993 when Mrs. 

Anne Cointreau-Huchon of Cognac purchased the farm, bringing with her a 

tremendous wealth of knowledge and expertise. Morgenhof Wine Estate, which 

consists of 212 hectares (67 under vine), enjoys the prime location of the 

southwestern slopes of the Simonsberg mountains in the Stellenbosch district, 

where direct afternoon sun and cool sea breezes from the Atlantic Ocean 

produce high quality grapes.

CHIMNEY ROCK 

The story of Chimney Rock is entwined with the story of Napa Valley's Stags 

Leap District, home to some of the most elegant Cabernet Sauvignon produced 

on American soil. The winery's beginnings hark back to the original 

owners' love of Bordeaux. When the late Hack Wilson and his wife Stella 

retired after a long career in the beverage industry, they decided to fulfill a 

life-long passion and began searching for a winery. Their search started in 

South Africa, their home, and continued in France. In 1980, a 185-acre 

estate located on the Napa Valley's Silverado Trail and occupied by a golf 

course called Chimney Rock, captivated the Wilsons and they decided to 

make it home. By this time, the Stags Leap area was already gaining worldwide 

attention and acclaim for its Cabernet Sauvignon.

Nestled high in the Eastern Hills, Rutherford Hill Winery commands a spectacular

most select Napa vineyards that Rutherford Hill continues its tradition of crafting 

legendary wines. In 1976, while the rest of the world was just beginning to take 

notice of Napa Valley, the founders of Rutherford Hill recognized a unique opportunity. 

They believed that the climate and soil of the valley, similar to Pomerol, were 

well suited to Merlot and were among the first to pioneer what has become 

Napa's premier varietal. Today, this tradition of quality continues, expressed by 

wines of great complexity and character.

DISTILLERIA BOTTEGA 

SPIRITS 


Distilleria Bottega was set up in 1977 by Aldo Bottega, a master distiller with over 30 

years of experience. The distillery began modestly, operating in the local grappa market. In 

1983, with the death of its founder, son Sandro took on the management of the company 

with the assistance of siblings Barbara and Stefano. In a few years, Distilleria Bottega left 

its anonymity, thanks to an innovative distillation system that makes grappa mellower and 

more delicate. In 1987, the Alexander brand joined Bottega; this new brand is intended for 

those consumers who have developed a much more educated and refined palate. 

All Alexander Grappa has its origin from very fresh and vinous marcs that are distilled in 

copper stills following the steam distillation in order to guarantee the highest quality. The 

Venetian blown glass bottles, designed by Sandro Bottega, are the ideal container to view 

the clarity and transparency of the Alexander Grappa. They were also the object of a 

prestigious international exhibition called “Art in Grappa”.

Springbank Distillery is a true original in many regards. It is the oldest distillery 

in Scotland that survives in the ownership of its founders, the Mitchells, 

Scotland’s senior distilling family. The present distillery was built in 1828 on 

the site of the previous illicit distillery of Archibald Mitchell. Springbank is the 

signature producer of Campbeltown, one of the five recognized production regions 

of scotch. It has its own unique and delightful nuances which make it 

among the world's best single malt producers. 

Springbank is unique amongst Scotland’s distilleries in that all parts of the 

production process, from traditional malting to bottling, are carried out at the 

one location. Of note, it is the only distillery that has never used chill filtering 

and the addition of caramel to add back colour in the production of its fine 

malts, ensuring that the essential oils, esthers and proteins are maintained in 

the product, guaranteeing whiskies of the finest pure aroma and flavour.

MAGELLAN 

SPIRITS 

In 1519, five ships led by Ferdinand de Magellan set out to circumnavigate the world 

and explore ‘the spice islands’. Three years later, only the ship Victoria returned to 

Spain, with 18 people and hundreds of cloves. Sadly, Magellan, who died in battle 

during the voyage, never saw the results of his spice discoveries. Those spices inspired 

the creation of gin as we know it, and it is to cloves in particular that Magellan 

Gin owes its inspired taste. 

Created by spirits guru Michel Roux, Magellan Gin is made in small batches in Cognac, 

France from triple-distilled neutral spirits, spring water and 11 freeze-dried botanicals, 

a mix that includes cloves. During the fourth and final distillation, the gin is 

infused with deep-blue Iris petals. The result is a sensationally flavorful, 88 proof spirit 

with a captivating, light blue tint. That’s right—the blue is not the bottle. It’s the gin! 

Magellan Gin is a bona fide headliner. The gin has a supple, 

medium-weight body and an engaging bouquet laced with the 

aromas of flora, citrus and spice. It has a delightfully soft entry that quickly entertains 

the mouth with a fanciful array of tantalizing flavors. The finish is cool and crisp. 

Martini savvy haunts will want to be the first on their block to carry 

Magellan Gin. It was created with a cocktail glass in mind. Great looks 

and an incomparable taste make Magellan unbeatable.

In 1896, Don Celso Plascencia had a dream. A humble working man born in the 

highlands of Jalisco, he worked the land, and as he traveled to and from the fields 

that belonged to others, he promised that one day, his family would own their own 

estate and make their own tequila, the spirit of Mexico. 100 years later, Don 

Celso’s grandson, Raul Plascencia, fulfilled his grandfather’s dream. An entrepreneur, 

Raul saved his money and, investing with others, opened Destiladora San 

Nicolas in 1998. The distillery blends tradition with technology, creating tequila as 

it has been made for generations, using the best blue agave, the clearest water, 

and time. They bring the process into the 21st century with a state-of-the-art facility

Antigua Distillery has long been the premium distiller of fine rums in The Leeward islands. 

As they move into the new century, they are committed to maintaining the high 

standards production and packaging that have been developed over recent decades. 

The Antigua Distillery Ltd produces high quality rums with the finest all natural ingredients. 

The company uses a skillful combination of traditional methods and modern technology 

necessary for the best rum production. They continue the tradition of using copper 

pipes for its five column continuous copper still that can produce 1.5 million litres a 

year around 90% alcohol by volume. Ageing is done in 220 litre American Oak casks 

that were previously used for ageing bourbon, covering a time frame of a minimum 2-3 

years allowing the "angels" to take their share. 

VENEZUELA 

Since its foundation in 1796, the history of Hacienda Santa Teresa has been interwoven 

with the history of Venezuela. The lands of Santa Teresa have witnessed 

the birth of José Rafael Revenga—one of the founding fathers of Venezuela 

independence, Simon Bolivar’s ratification of his historic 1818 proclamation 

abolishing slavery, and the 1821 defeat of Royalist Troops by General José 

Francisco Bermúdez. In 1996, to celebrate its 200th anniversary, the company 

launched Santa Teresa 1796 Super Premium Rum, now its flagship brand—the 

only rum aged with the time-honoured solera method, for a minimum 15 years.

KULMBACHER 

ANCHOR BREWING 

GERMANY 

In the early 195:’s, the Kulmbacher Brewery of Germany set out to make the 

world’s biggest beer. Naturally, it would be done according to the Bavarian 

Purity Law, using nothing but barley malt, yeast, hops and water. German beer 

consumers picked Kulmbacher as the best Pils in Germany. In Kulmbach, the 

center of the country—not far from the western border of old Bohemia—the 

best balance between the malty and hoppy elements of a classic Pils is 

achieved.

UNITED STATES 

San Francisco’s famous Anchor Steam, the classic of American brewing tradition 

since 1896, is virtually handmade, with an exceptional respect for the ancient art of 

brewing. The deep amber color, thick creamy head, and rich flavour all testify to its 

traditional brewing methods. Anchor Steam is unique, for its brewing process has 

evolved over many decades and is like no other in the world. 

The ‘steam’ reference comes from the fact that the brewery started with no way to 

chill the boiling wort, so they pumped it to large open-top bins on the roof for it to be 

chilled by the cool air blowing in off the Pacific Ocean. Thus while brewing, the brewery 

had a distinct cloud of steam around the roof let off by the wort as it cooled.
