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.

A New Generation of Galician Excellence
It’s rare in any vocation to pass on a legacy of brilliance and success from one generation to the next. The Méndez family of Do Ferreiro, however, has successfully done just that, and has made it look easy. Regional vanguard and albariño champion Gerardo has witnessed his children, Manuel and Encarna, seamlessly take over winemaking and operations, producing vintage after vintage of stunning Rías Baixas wine, maintaining the family’s trademark amiability, hospitality, and humility all the while. The just-arrived, limited-availability 2023 vintage is a testament to that.
Whisky de Bretagne highlights our growing French Spirits lineup
Lénaïck Lemaitre has already amassed 10 years of whisky-making experience in his native Brittany, and that’s on top of his time selling, aging, and blending whisky prior to founding Naguelann Distillerie. He’d tell you that the time has flown by. But for us, the last few years have felt even longer, as we’ve been waiting and planning for this moment—the launch of Naguelann here in the US. These five whiskies, now in stock, are a showcase of Lénaïck’s unique balance of technique and vision, and like Brittany as a whole, are unique in the world. In our offers below, learn more about Naguelann, and explore the like-minded regional French spirits of Bourgoin and T.O.S.
Basque Wine’s History & Future
Oenologist & winemaker Itziar Insausti of DGTX (aka Doniene Gorrondona) has been at pushing against the artificial frontiers delimiting what txakoli can be since before she and her cohort founded the Bizkaiko Txakolina DO in 1994. Her wines embrace site-specificity, lees-aging, and the continuous tending of very old vines of indigenous varieties, restoring the international acclaim once appended to the products of this land, while maintaining their modern reputation for pleasure and levity.
Julie Noël’s Sancerre Star Continues its Rise
As just the latest in a long line of woman to inherit these eastern Loire vineyards, Julie Noël understands deeply the value and meaning her family line has invested in Sancerre. Her winemaking discipline shows her embrace of this history, creating precise yet soulful wines which, in collaboration with her legendary father (a rare break in the matrilineal character of the domaine), have become renowned within this very coveted region.
Rosé Rollout 2025
Our diverse range of exciting, category-defining and -defying rosés offers something for everyone, and every season—from crisp/mineral/spritzy aperitifs, to skin-contact wines with abundant texture and age-ability, to the convenience of cans. Explore our offerings below.
Critically-Acclaimed No/Low’s for the New Year
We are now a couple of years into the maturation of the No/Low ABV beverage movement, having witnessed more than a few lackluster, marketing-driven flashes-in-the-pan fizzle out quickly. When we came across the AMA Brewery and Muri Drinks projects, though, we were relieved to find like-minded partners who were aiming to create products that expand the spectrum of superior-quality beverages made from uncompromising ingredients and with a clear perspective driven by creative vision. Served at some of the world’s finest restaurants and bars, these two makers offer experience without alcohol, as elaborated in our offer.
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.

Accolades Abound for Pegaso Winemaker Marc Isart
The Iberian Peninsula, garnacha’s homeland, is bursting with wines demonstrating the stunning variety of the grape—a notion we’re, well, somewhat familiar with. The distinct style of highland garnacha coming from Sierra de Gredos, represented by Compañía de Vinos’ Pegaso, is just one such example, earning Marc Isart Beth Willard’s Winemaker of the Year (in Tim Atkin MW’s Gredos report), along with high scores and high praise from Decanter’s tasting panel.
Manu Méndez is Young Winemaker of the Year in Rías Baixas
In accordance with the top rankings earned by his recent vintages at Do Ferreiro, Manuel Méndez has been honored by Tim Atkin MW in his late-2024 Rías Baixas Special Report. It should go without saying that we couldn’t agree more.
Sommeliers Choose De Maison as one of the US’s Best French Wine Importers
It’s an honor to be recognized among of our respected peers as one of the Best French Wine Importers here in the US. From newer partners like Champagne Christian Gosset and Château des Vergers in Beaujolais, back to our very first French import, the iconic Chéreau Carré, our French portfolio continues to grow and expand with honest, family producers representing the most exciting regions.
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.

Bordeaux with a Profound Commitment to Agroforestry and Regenerative Agriculture
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 fundamental sea change for peak-quality Bordeaux, and how it’s farmed and made.
Ibar Whisky, from the Basque Highlands
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.
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.
