A Douro legend, ready for summer. ☀️

Since 1716, Quinta do Vallado has been one of the Douro Valley’s most storied estates. Once the home of legendary Port producer Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira—“Ferreirinha”—the estate has remained in her family for generations. For its first 200 years, Quinta do Vallado produced exclusively Port, sold through the family’s renowned Casa Ferreira.

Today, 65 hectares of estate vineyards carry that legacy forward.

🍹When summer calls for something refreshing, reach for White Port: bright, versatile and made for long afternoons, chilled pours and cocktails. 80% Moscatel Galego / 20% mixed white. After approximately 20 days of free-flow fermentation, it spends 3 years in stainless. Fresh, intense with floral & citrus aromas; flavors of crystallized orange on a long, delicate finish. 94 pts; Somm Journal / 90 pts WE.

🍷Douro Red is an field blend including Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Sousão—with 20% of the fruit coming from old vines, 60-100 years old. Fully destemmed and fermented in 5–10 ton stainless steel vats for about a week at 23–25°C with automated pump-overs. About 90% of the wine is aged for 9 months in stainless steel vats and the rest in 225L French oak barrels of 3rd and 4th year. 91 pts; Robert Parker.

🍷 Meet Domaine Maby Côtes du Rhône, a new team favorite!

A family estate rooted in Tavel since the early 1900s, Domaine Maby has been family-operated since 1946 and today is led by Richard Maby and his father, Roger.

With nearly 60 hectares across Tavel, Lirac, Côtes-du-Rhône, and IGP Coteaux du Pont du Gard, the estate’s vineyards are rooted in the region’s iconic galets roulés—rounded stones that retain heat and contribute to the wines’ distinctive minerality.

Certified organic, with hand harvesting, native-yeast fermentation, and a minimal-intervention approach, Domaine Maby combines respect for tradition with modern precision, crafting wines that emphasize purity, balance, and terroir.

A Southern Rhône estate worth getting to know. Ask to taste the wines and learn more.

Rouge: From 50 year old vines that have been farmed organically since 2005, Syrah (40%), Grenache (40%), Mourvedre (20%). Matured in concrete tanks 9 months.

Rosé: La Forcadière is a blend of seven grape varieties (Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre, grown on the three soils, characteristic of the Tavel appellation (rolled pebbles, sand and slate). The average age of vines is 35 years.

Meet Delaunay, our new Val de Loire Sauvignon Blanc!
🍋🍈🥝🪨

Sourced from parcels primarily in Touraine, average of 140m altitude, north and south facing, "perruches" soil (silica, clay, stony soil).

Pressed and left for 10-12 hours to macerate on the skins, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aged 3 months on the lees with weekly bâtonnages.

Joel Delaunay, a 4th generation grape grower, has become the Loire’s specialist for Sauvignon Blanc. With many years of experience and key parcels in the Touraine, the area around the river Cher became a go-to region for the variety.

There’s something special about Quivira Vineyards beyond what’s in the bottle. 🌿🍷

From regenerative farming and thoughtful water conservation to habitat restoration and a deep commitment to the land, sustainability is woven into everything Quivira does.

And we’ve honestly never met anyone more excited about soil and compost.

But perhaps what stands out most is the people: a team genuinely passionate about making great wine while leaving the place better than they found it.

And then there’s the property itself. Vineyards, gardens, orchards, native habitat, and Sonoma’s stunning landscape come together to create a place that feels as beautiful as it is intentional.

A reminder that great wine can be rooted in a deeper sense of place—and a commitment to protecting it. 🌱
