			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Elements by Artesa is a portfolio of red wines that combine winemaking passion with the flavors and characteristics of multiple varietals. These wines are grown in select vineyards across the prime wine regions of Napa Valley and Sonoma County.</p></blockquote>
<p>Owned by the Raventós family of the Spanish winemaking dynasty Codorníu, and driven by the family’s commitment to winemaking excellence, Elements is the natural outcome of the years Artesa has spent identifying the specific microclimates that produce world-class wine grapes. This effort has led to vineyards in a diverse group of Napa’s and Sonoma’s most highly regarded sub-appellations including Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Atlas Peak, Oak Knoll, Oakville and Carneros.</p>
<p>Whether it’s lush, forward fruit; a tinge of earthy richness; or a dash of wild herb or spice, each appellation, vineyard and varietal contributes to the layers of aroma and flavor that sets Elements apart. Shaped first by nature, then forged by the winemaker’s blending choices, Elements wines are multi-faceted and complex, a testament to what can happen when many become one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>An age-old legend speaks of a cave high in the Andes mountains and of an ancient city named Marraso, which was protected by the spirit of an ancient horse, whose image was painted on the wall of the cave. The people of the city named the image El Caballo Antiguo, the ancient horse, and believed the symbol had mystical properties.</p></blockquote>
<p>No sign of either the legendary cave or the city has ever been found, but the fruit of the vineyards, planted in the shadow of Los Andes, is said to contain the spirit of El Caballo Antiguo and produce amazing flavors that make this wine unique. </p>

<p>Durbanville Hills winery draws its grapes from a group of neighboring historic farms, mostly established at the turn of the 17th and 18th Centuries.</p>
<p>These include Bloemendal, allocated as a freehold farm in 1698 to an early Dutch settler at the Cape. Most of the other farms involved were allocated as freehold farms during the early 1700s, including Maastricht in 1702, Hooggelegen in 1703 and Ongegund in 1704.</p>

<p>Grapes cultivated on the best slopes of Eguisheim and the surrounding area are the raw material from which are made the prestigious Alsace wines which have forged the worldwide reputation and brand image of Léon Beyer wines, present on the wine menus of the finest restaurant in France, Europe and even the world.
