Decanter chooses Nicolas Catena as their 'Man of the Year' 2009 |
|
It has just been announced that Nicolas Catena has been honoured by Decanter Magazine as their 'Man of the Year' 2009. He becomes the first South American recipient of this coveted title and follows in the footsteps of Christian Moueix, Anthony Barton and Marcel Guigal, winners from the last three years. The award is decided on by the Decanter publishing team after consultation with key wine figures around the world and is not influenced by other awards or wine show medals. Calling him a 'Founding Father', they credit him with changing the direction of the Argentinian wine industry and recognise him as a pioneer in experimenting with clones and microclimates. "He has been instrumental in changing the Argentinian wine scene more than anybody else, pushing it towards high quality and intelligent marketing," said Baron Eric de Rothschild. |

 Journey's End South Africa Located in Stellenbosch, with vineyards adjacent to Vergelegen and Morgenster, Journey's End is right at the heart of one of the cape's most exciting terroirs. Bought and replanted by the
Gabb family in 1996, the last ten years have seen the estate grow into one of the most talked
about in the region. The wines have won accolades and medals at wine competitions around the
world ever since the maiden vintages of the Cabernet and Chardonnay achieved 4 and 5 star
ratings from the prestigious John Platter Guide in 2004. The philosophy in both the vineyards
and cellar follows a minimum intervention approach to ensure the quality of the fruit shines
through.
