Pieroth Japan wins importer of the year as its exclusive suppliers sweep the awards. This included a stunning performance by Heitz. Their 2005 Napa valley wine recieved a gold medal, best USA Wine and Trophy for the Best New World Red Wine. As the other wines from Heitz also did so well, David Heitz also picked up the Riedel award for best red winemaker (the secound time in 3 years). Other outstanding performances included Laurenz V, who won the best Austrian wine award with their Singing Gruner Veltiner. In fact this is the secound year in a row that this producer has picked up this award. Also in the spotlight was Ronald Hepp of Schloss Vollrads, whose wines swept the white wine awards including white winemaker of the year and who is making our Goethe wines.

 

We will update you next month on the full list of our exclusive award winning wines or you can check for updates on the official Japan Wine Challenge website.

Out of a family with a longstanding tradition in the manufacture of fine jewelery, brothers Alexander and Dominik Kuhnle grew up in a truly creative and entrepreneurial atmosphere. Their appreciation for craftsmanship and ingenious mechanics lead them to become avid watch collectors and finally - in 2001 - to establish their own watch brand “SCALFARO”.

 

The founders’ uncompromising focus on quality and precision, combined with their creativity and dedications, have shaped “SCALFARO” into a powerful brand with a strong unique character. Its remarkable and authentic designs have assisted to establish “SCALFARO” as one of the rare family-owned manufacturers of fine mechanical timepieces.

 

Our time instruments feature extraordinary constructions and the finest mechanical movements; they unite traditional artisan techniques, high-tech materials and a distinct timeless design.

 

We believe that truly special timepieces can only be created with passion, perseverance, accuracy and time. In our Swiss ateliers we build each SCALFARO with immense love for details and all respect for the high expectations of our clients.

 

We are particularly proud of our innovations in the fields of case construction and new manufacturing techniques, like the “SCALFARO Multi Step Gasket System“ (SMSGS) which protects the joints from direct contact with liquids or our “Retro Moon” in-house movement with retrograde indication and moon phase. These examples perfectly demonstrate our company’s commitment to innovate new facets to the world of fine watch making. The manufacture of our timepieces unites traditional craftsmanship with the latest technology as well as state-of-the-art materials like tungsten or ceramics. The search for perfection in every detail is our all-time motivation.

 

A unique and powerful design language marks the inimitable character of each SCALFARO timepiece: extraordinary shapes, multi-level case architecture with interplay of surface structures and facets are just some of the prominent features that set our timepieces apart. A SCALFARO timepiece forms a harmonious unit radiating by clear lines,sporty elegance, refined functionality and impressive solidity.

We would like to share our love for precision and fine engineering with all those who share such passion and like to wear this kind of fascination symbolically as a permanent reminder around their wrist. Especially those who enjoy the fascination of yachts, motor sports or aviation – just to name a few areas – a SCALFARO timepiece incorporates these inspirations as an individual,spiritual companion close to the pulse.

 

“SCALFARO INDIVIDUAL” is our new made-to-measure and bespoke atelier where our master watchmakers and artisans create unique pieces and micro-series in close collaboration with our clients. The ideas and suggestions of our customers inspire our craftsmen to create extraordinary timepieces complementing highly skilled workmanship with innovative and proprietary techniques like the SCALFARO Ceramic Intarsia which combine high-tech ceramics and stainless steel.

 

Whether it be a characteristic element of a personal hobby or a symbol for one’s favorite excitement, the silhouette and color of a vintage car or simply one’s initials, “SCALFARO INDIVIDUAL” incorporates truly personal elements into a unique high-end timepiece.

"When my grandparents moved to California wine country, they brought along a passion for wine,

food and hospitality that continues in my family till today, 90 years and four generations later.”

“Thank you for sharing in M by Michael Mondavi, my new limited production Cabernet Sauvignon, M marks my return to winemaking after more than 30 years, and stands as a genuine expression of my spirit, passion for wine, and my family’s deep roots in the Napa Valley. M is a reflection of my vision for great wine – complex and subtle, made to be enjoyed with a meal, revealing itself slowly over time and inviting you back for a second glass. An elegant wine with the kind of depth and balance that characterized the Mondavi wines of the 60’s and 70’s when I worked as a winemaker, M is bold but not overpowering. I’ve always believed that a wine with great depth is richer than an overpowering one, and M is made in that spirit. Not your typical California Cabernet, M elevates and intrigues the palate without overwhelming the senses. Elegant, balanced and approachable with bright floral notes, hints of currant, spice, dried berries and a touch of oak to smooth, bind and elevate the flavors, M is ready to be enjoyed today. Or, for those who like more mature, austere wines, M can easily be laid down for thirty years.”

M. Mondavi

 

The Oso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is harvested from the family’s Oso Vineyard. The vines grow on beautiful, stone-lined terraces, out of a rocky, porous soil. The high drainage stresses the vines, leading to high flavor concentration. The fruit remains fresh and vibrant throughout the growing season due to mild temperatures –warmer evenings and cooler days than on the valley floor –and afternoon breezes that blow straight down the vineyard rows. From the soil and elevation this mountain fruit extracts intense varietal characteristics, a firm structure, and excellent aging potential.
