Continously Seeking Excellence in Our Craft

Del most flor, amb la dedicació i el rigor de l’obra artesanal ben feta. This Catalan saying graces the label of the first wine we imported, Avinyó Cava, and translates as “starting with the best part of the harvest, and exerting the dedication and rigor of a well-crafted work.” It is an idea which has guided our company philosophy since 1996. This concept of respecting the integrity of the source material with dedicated care drives us in our quest to work thoughtfully, share authentic culinary and cultural experiences, and leave things better than we found them.

Current Offers

Expressions of Remelluri

The highly-anticipated releases of the latest vintages from Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri have arrived, representing the new pinnacle for one of Rioja’s most progressive wineries. The continued refinement of Remelluri, exemplified by its legendary, certified organic, estate vineyards in the Sierra de Toloño, is on full display in these well-aged Reserva and Gran Reserva wines, from the 2016 and 2015 vintages, respectively.

Spanish Gran Reservas

Given that you’re on this website reading this blurb, it probably won’t be a surprise that we at DMS consider Spain’s iconic grape, tempranillo, to be amongst the most compelling varieties on earth, easily deserving of ‘noble’ status (however that very political term is defined). Our longstanding producer partners across northern Spain—from the dramatic protected valleys beneath the mountains of Basque Álava, to the windswept, high-elevation llanos of Burgos along the Duero River—revel in demonstrating their intimate understandings of how this singular grape transmits their unique terroirs in bottle. The limited Gran Reserva wines offered here are produced only when the excellence of the vintage demands it be so, and are the height of each house’s interpretation of tempranillo.

A Steadfast Commitment to Agroforestry and Regenerative Agriculture sets this Bordeaux family apart

The Cordonnier family have exemplified the virtues of earth-focused viticulture at their Château Anthonic estate for years. Recently, with the purchase of ten hectares of prime vineyards in the east of Moulis-en-Médoc on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, they’ve taken their knowledge, skill, and passion to the next echelon as the new proprietors of Château Lestage-Darquier Grand Poujeaux. Their inaugural vintage, exclusively available stateside through De Maison Selections, represents a sea change for peak-quality Bordeaux in many essential ways, detailed in our new offer.

The Pinnacle of High-Altitude Garnacha in Gredos

Emerging barely an hour west of Madrid, but feeling a world away, the village of Cebreros in the Sierra de Gredos has become synonymous with aromatic, profound expressions of Iberia’s indigenous garnacha. Telmo Rodríguez and winemaker Marc Isart have been reviving the nearly-lost vineyards on this very challenging, moonlike landscape—up to a dizzying 1200m altitude, among the highest in Spain. The skill and precision reflected in these vintages show the culmination of their efforts. 

Galicia’s Dramatic, Ancient Riverbank Terraces Have Stories to Tell

The views of the river valleys cutting through the mountainous southeast corner of Galicia, where Valdeorras looks across to Ribera Sacra, are impossible to forget. Turns out, as is often the case, the same holds true for the wines produced here. Taking into account the wide spectrum of exposures, microclimates, and grape varieties, the focus and character of these single-vineyard wines is a testament to the vision of Jorge Saa along with Telmo and Pablo from Compañía de Vinos. 

Whisky with Basque Terroir in its DNA

Gabriel Acha and his team at Destilerías Acha hold innovation as a foundational imperative, while also remaining deeply, culturally enmeshed in the Basque region they call home. Both of these values are embodied (embottled?) in their long-awaited newest release, Ibar Basque Mountain Whisky. Our fall release offer details how these two novel malt whiskies break new ground by being deeply rooted in their home soil.

The Next Wave of Muri Deliciousness

Muri Drinks have become highly sought-after due to their addictive complexity–what we’ve referred to as the “wall of flavor.” Each signature blend shows off the skill of Team Muri, creators of singular, complete beverages without alcohol through the layering of fermentations. Focusing each fermentation on the development of texture, mouthfeel, and funk, Muri aims to create a “revelatory moment” where all the disparate aspects cohere in a drink that is stimulating, satisfying, and food-friendly. See what their brand new cuvées have in store below.

JAG takes Viticulturist of the Year in Bierzo

We’re huge fans of Tim Atkin MW & Co’s writing, which is always very insightful and well-informed, composed by a team of people who truly love wine. Beth Willard’s report from her week of visits and tastings in Bierzo offered some high praise for the viticulture and cuvées of our very own Jose Antonio García Viticultor.

The View from Telmo’s World

Visionary, multi-regional winemaker and champion of Spanish viticulture, Telmo Rodriguez, has been a important partner of ours for over a decade. Here, in The World of Fine Wine’s series Vigneron’s Stories, he shares his deeply thoughtful perspectives on the future of Spanish wine and what motivates him to continuously seek the knowledge of the past across the peninsula’s many terroirs. 

AMA Brewery and Muri Drinks headline Jancis Robinson’s Dry January Roundup

When De Maison approached the burgeoning No- and Low-ABV category, we did so by applying the same rigor and careful consideration has brought us a portfolio composed of superlative spirits and wines. Jancis Robinson’s team seems to agree with our methods, embracing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that make AMA and Muri stand way out amongst a crowded field of beverages.

The Year of Spirits continues with Ibar Basque Whisky

The picturesque Basque landscape, known for its craggy mountains, lush valleys, and epic seascapes, has few parallels in the world. For fans of malt whisky, however, the terrain might evoke the Scottish Highlands, and indeed, the same material qualities are abundantly present in both regions. So when Gabriel Acha embarked on his journey of making high-quality Basque whisky in the style of Scotch, it made all too much sense to us. The result, Ibar Basque Mountain Whisky, however, is even better than expected, and a real testament to the skill of the Destilerías Acha team in harnessing the bounty of their terroir. Join us for a dram of their new 3-year or 8-year, and topa

Traditional Asturian Cider, now Non-Alcoholic

The Trabanco name is synonymous with handcrafted, premium quality natural sidra. Samuel Trabanco’s open-mindedness has led to iconic innovations like the en rama quinquina Alma, premium single-varietal Alicia, and the extra-brut sparkling Poma Áurea. That said, his latest release may be the most groundbreaking – a non-alcoholic variant on their Sidra Natural that faithfully maintains the body, acidity, texture, and nuance that the original is known for. Learn more about the release (including kegs!) in this summer’s offer.

Jacoulot Petit Brandy is a Grand Innovation

An entirely new Burgundy brandy idea, but very much rooted in the standard of quality that Jacoulot is known for, Petit Brandy is a pinot noir distillate that marries rusticity with elegance, displaying the full breadth of what the noble grape has to offer. This vibrant spirit is soon to arrive at our shores, primed for spring cocktail season.

The Cognac Revolution is Here

Fourth-generation Cognac grower and distiller Frédéric Bourgoin reminds us that “revolution” doesn’t mean the appearance of something new, but rather, a return to that which is pure and fundamental, a restoration of what once was. Through Bourgoin, we have at last come back around to brandy distilled from estate-farmed, organic grapes, without blending, color correction, or filtration. Join us in rediscovering what we’ve all been missing.

Cans

The same spirit that drove us to be the first US importer to offer high-quality products in the keg format similarly inspired us to bring txakoli, sidra naturala, vino rosado, and pétillant from Spain in cans, thus expanding the opportunities for enjoyment of these authentic, light-hearted, thirst-quenching expressions.

Kegs

In our constant pursuit of innovation, especially as it pertains to provenance and maintaining freshness, we are pleased to offer an expanding range of wines, ciders, and vermouths in one-way, 20L recyclable keg format. Our selection is focused on the vin de soif category, with an emphasis on quality, food-friendliness, versatility, sustainability, and drinkability.
