 |
|||||||
| In the world of wine the time of women has come. Inventive, sensual, emotional, creative and often venturous, they have over the past few years made their way into a so far male realm. More and more female winemakers in and also outside Europe make themselves a name with outstanding wines and receive top grades: Ilse Maier in Kremstal in Austria, Elisabetta Foradori in Northern Italy, Marjorie Gallet in Languedoc-Roussillon, Christine Bernhard in the German Palatinate, Irene Grünenfelder in Swiss Bündnerland,Victoria Pariente in Spain. For the first time a book is dedicated to the by now numerous women who cause a commotion with sensitive palate and keen sense. It describes encounters with women handling their profession with impressive knowledge and capability, with devotion, passion and joy. Women ready not only to cope with the hard work in the vineyard, but also to face the tough, male dominated competition. Their stories show that their wines are not simply the result of a large ground and/or a good location, but that they are exceptionally gifted winemakers. The book presents the 40 best female winemakers of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. In accurately researched image and text reports we learn all there is to know about these congenial women and their wines. A comprehensive and illustrated appendix offers another 30 short portraits of excellent European female winemakers.
