Another incredible year at ProWein and one thing we love the most, is getting to connect with thousands of producers. From Decanter World Wine Awards sample drop offs and trying award-winning wines to chatting about our magazine, we meet so many people from all over the globe. So let’s meet some of the producers who entered DWWA 2026 and find out where they’re from 🌍🍷

Fifty years since the 1976 Judgement of Paris tasting, Chateau Montelena Winery’s CEO Bo Barrett, and its president and winemaker Matthew Crafton, hosted an exclusive masterclass in Decanter’s London tasting suite. The masterclass coincided with publication in Decanter’s March issue of an interview with Barrett, where he recalled the early days of Montelena and the impact that the victory of the estate’s 1973 Chardonnay at the legendary competition had – both on Montelena itself and on California more widely https://lnkd.in/edU5V3-4

100-points for latest Château Latour in whirlwind of spring releases 🍷 A perfect-scoring first growth and over 50 fine wines from beyond Bordeaux including Italy, the US, Chile, Argentina, France, Spain, and China have been released this spring https://lnkd.in/eSHEpPWx Georgie Hindle

Sometimes called ‘nomadic’ – other times ‘flying’ – winemakers, this troupe of mavericks eschews the idea of being permanently wedded to a particular vineyard or set of vineyards. Instead, they travel around the world making wine in different places by partnering with local grape-growers and wineries. We hear from four roving winemakers, Alex Brogan, Edward McDougall, Darren Smith and Rami Bassil El Sabban about why they do it and why we should all be drinking more nomad-created wines https://lnkd.in/e4Rr6P9X 🌍🍷

We recommend the best of South Africa's red blends 🍷 Illustrating that South Africa is one of the wine world’s current hotspots for character and value, with 60% of the wines entered scoring 90 points or more. Jason Millar, Victoria Mason MW and Roger Jones tasted 90 wines, with 9 Outstanding and 45 Highly recommended https://lnkd.in/gg4g5FCR

At Barcelona Wine Week 2026, one session stood out spotlighting the outsiders who helped shape Spain’s modern wine scene with their fresh ideas, curiosity and new perspective on heritage. Led by Fernando Mora MW, and joined by Jesús Barquín, Daniel Landi and Jorge Olivera, the session celebrated those rewriting the rules, showing how creativity and risk-taking have been just as vital as tradition in redefining Spanish wine https://lnkd.in/eirZkuUG 🇪🇸

Between masterclasses and the Grand Tasting at Decanter Fine Wine Encounter New York, take time to sit down, dine and continue the conversation over special wines with our intimate Winemakers’ Lunches. Sharing the table with some of the world’s most respected producers, Dr. Laura Catena of Catena Zapata, Pahlmeyer winemaker Katie Vogt and Adam Lowy from Cloudsley Cellars, these lunches offer a rare opportunity to taste exceptional bottles alongside an open menu. With just six seats available at each lunch, there’s really no waiting around to book these https://lnkd.in/erNyr88r 🍷🗽
