1. While curating this list, one word came to mind that would collectively describe the following wineries and that's "passion"! The end result is quality driven wines that express their true terroir. It is an honour to bring these special wines to you as we journey to another land: their land. 2. Throughout this list you will discover wineries that practice sustainable, organic or biodynamic farming and winemaking.

There are hundreds of different types of soil, rock and mineral deposits in the world’s vineyards. Most vine-yard soils can be sorted into about 5 to 6 different types of � soil�that�affect�the�flavour�of�wine.�While�there�is�no�scientific� proof associating the taste of ‘minerality’ to actual minerals in a wine, something does happen. It’s almost as though some types of soils act like a tea-bag for water as it passes through to the vine’s roots.
