In recent years, the wine industry has seen a surge of talented women breaking barriers and leaving an indelible mark on viticulture and vinification. From visionary winemakers to innovative vineyard owners, these trailblazing women are reshaping the landscape of the wine world. Their unique perspectives and expertise not only redefine our appreciation of wine but also inject the industry with dynamism and diversity. Let's raise our glasses to celebrate their extraordinary contributions and the delicious wines they craft.

Françoise Antech, a sixth-generation member of her family, embodies the resilience and determination passed down through generations. As a guardian of her family's legacy, she is deeply committed to preserving their heritage while actively promoting social and cultural initiatives in her region. For over five centuries, her family has carefully nurtured the enchanting terroir of Limoux to craft exquisite sparkling wines.

This wine pours a radiant yellow with golden hues, offering delicate scents of hawthorn and green apple balanced by nutty richness from extended tirage. The brisk freshness sweeps over the palate with citrus fruits, tart apple, mirabelle plum, and golden flowers, leading to a harmonious finish.

With a deep-rooted heritage in the Chablis region, Céline's family has been cultivating vineyards and mills since the 16th century around Auxerre. In the late 19th century, they committed themselves exclusively to viticulture. After gaining 13 years of valuable experience alongside her father, Jean-Marc Brocard, Céline embarked on her own journey by establishing her estate in 2013. Her passion is to share this enriching experience with others.

This wine is impeccably balanced and subtly vibrant. It showcases flavors of lemon, and white flowers intertwined with delicate undertones of white peach, limestone minerality, and a hint of almond. On the palate, it's fruity, silky, and gracefully energetic, with a gentle acidity, a touch of richness, minerality, and a fine finesse that lingers beautifully.

She delved into crafting her own Malbec wines in the late 1990s, marking the start of her remarkable career. Her passion for winemaking led her to explore different terroirs, including an experience with Malbec in Australia during the 2006 harvest. In 2016 that she found the perfect opportunity to leverage her expertise and knowledge in Languedoc, France. She discovered the ideal climatic conditions and terroir to unleash her creativity to produce exceptional wines that showcase her mastery of the craft.

Veema crafts an enduring and balanced fusion of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, resulting in a captivating wine that captures the essence of this blend's boldness and complexity. Notes of leather and smoked meat add a robust dimension to an aromatic bouquet of ripe black fruit, warm spices, vanilla, and violet. With a firm grip, this wine promises an exhilarating experience from start to finish.

Originally from Massachusetts, she purchased Protea Heights farm in Stellenbosch in 2008. Situated in Devon Valley with a rich history dating back to the late 1940s. Protea Heights has flourished. Her estate-grown label, Big Flower, and Botanica, which sources grapes from some of South Africa's most esteemed emerging wine regions and top growers, have quickly gained acclaim as symbols of the innovative spirit driving South African winemaking forward.

This wine presents a rich plum hue, accompanied by an enticing bouquet of blackcurrant, tobacco, and hints of fennel. On the palate, it offers opulent flavors, with a harmonious acidity complemented by layers of blackcurrant and plum.
