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.

Distilled Heritage | Singular Spirits of Spain & France
Our ever-evolving and -expanding lineup of craft spirits boasts producers who are defined by their diversity, showcasing the unique identities of their regions and subregions and the distillation traditions thereof. With concerted intention in every step of the process—including conscious sourcing, choice of distilling mechanism and aging vessel, and the eschewing of additives and filtration—they are constitutionally independent, refusing to be redundant with any other bottle on your bar.
Sancerre | Late 2025 Allocation & Reservation
As a region that has, in many ways, transitioned from a physical place to an amorphous “brand”, the fear is that the beloved Sancerre and its success in recent decades may be accompanied by a reduction in quality. Not so—at all—in our experience. Principled, yeoman winemakers like the Noël family and Vincent Gaudry would still be making absolutely brilliant wines, whether or not they were flying off the shelves. These vignerons, fortified by their own uncompromising commitment to quality as well as to the history of their land, continue to improve, to sharpen and refine, and explore the magic of Sancerre with every vintage.
Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez
Spanish viticultural evangelist and Rioja legend Telmo Rodríguez, his winemaking partner Pablo Eguzkiza, and a team of talented winemaking collaborators are the personnel behind the Compañía de Vinos, which seeks to restore and highlight the profound quality and deep history of wine from across Spain. These projects—Pegaso in Sierra de Gredos, Molino Real in Málaga, and Ladeiras do Xil in Valdeorras—are as different from one another as can be, but at their core, share an undeniable romantic quality and intense focus. Learn more in the below offer.
Low/No ABV | Muri Drinks & Ama Brewery
We’re living in the golden age of beverage innovation, as a multitude of creative people worldwide are employing their ever-expanding skill sets and utilizing pantries bursting with global produce to develop bespoke flavors, abandoning the established boundaries between beverage categories. Nowhere is this more true than in the low- and no-ABV segment, especially with the duo of fermentation artisans in our book.
Cosecheros de Labastida | Rioja Alavesa
NEW PRODUCER LAUNCH | A revolution—or perhaps a restoration—is underway in Rioja. Five talented growers from the village of Labastida are reclaiming their cosechero heritage by once again producing wine from their own grapes grown in their own single vineyards. They endeavor to reveal the incredible quality and complexity of the terroir contained within just one of Alavesa’s ancient winemaking villages, emphasizing the identity and character of their plots through the lens of excellent viticulture, gentle vinification, and restrained élevage. Explore this groundbreaking, next-generation Spanish wine project, launching exclusively through De Maison Selections.
Domaine de L’Aigle à Deux Têtes | Côtes du Jura
NEW PRODUCER LAUNCH | Self-taught vigneron Henri Le Roy left behind his scientific work in Paris to pursue a simpler, more soulful existence in winemaking. His love for Burgundian styles drew him eastward, where he studied in Beaune and subsequently set up shop in the southern Jura, amongst more established neighbors of great renown. His 3.5ha of native varieties, grown organically on ideal Jurassic marl soils, are pure and vibrant, both serious and joyful, and produced at an artisanal scale.
Grower Bordeaux | Autumn Offer
Two years ago, a group of groundbreaking Bordeaux vignerons became the first representatives from that region to join our portfolio, each in their own way exhibiting the tenacity and courage required to exist outside of the tightly controlled world of AOC Bordeaux. These working-class vignerons are striving for a grower/terroir-driven model resembling those of Burgundy and the Loire, while championing organic, biodynamic, and regenerative viticulture. The wineries in this offer seek to break out of the Bordelais mold and place the emphasis back on vineyard work and styles of wine that embrace the modern drinker.
2021 Lindes de Remelluri | Rioja Offer
Arriving with praise from Luis Gutierrez of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, the 2021 vintage of the revolutionary Lindes de Remelluri wines are perhaps the best method for peeling back the layers of Rioja’s complex and exciting terroirs. These village-specific wines reflect a “made in the vineyard, not in the cellar” mentality that, since the inaugural Lindes vintage in 2010, has been forcing a shift in the understanding of the region. Our offer below has thorough information, maps, and data on these beautiful, varied, and delicious red wines.
Remelluri | Rioja Alavesa Allocation
The current releases from Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri—Reserva 2016 and Blanco 2022—are substantial refinements on Telmo Rodríguez’s never ending project of exploration and restoration. Like every new vintage, they are peak reference points for high-altitude Rioja wines that speak from a very special and unique place.
VIP Cellar | Autumn Releases
We believe that one of the most meaningful ways to honor the craft of artisan producers is by cellaring their wines, offering a rare glimpse into the history and evolution of these remarkable estates. Often arriving to the market having already spent substantial time in both barrel and bottle, these Northern Spanish selections have been thoughtfully assembled and direct from tour VIP Cellar. In honor of the late Iñigo Manso de Zuniga, we are highlighting precious quantities of rare vintages from Rioja Alta’s Conde de Hervías.
Beaujolais | Autumn Offer
Our “Fantastic Four” of young producers are at the front lines of the next wave of greatness in Beaujolais, recovering forgotten vineyards, introducing agroforestry, encouraging biodiversity, and elevating lesser-known villages with an emphasis on organic and biodynamic viticulture. This group of like-minded friends are cultivating a communal atmosphere, with an openness to change and new ideas, in direct contrast to many of their Burgundian neighbors to the north. Beaujolais in the center of the price/quality ratio, with our quartet offering impressive variety therein.

Molino Real: The Ancient Mountain Reborn
The legendary sweet wines of Málaga, once held in high regard well beyond Andalucía, have persisted in literature moreso than in a liquid form, leaving many curious drinkers unable to sample their magic. Since 1998, the labor-intensive and unique style has been revived by the team of Telmo Rodríguez, Pablo Eguzkiza, and winemaker David Dupuch, to great acclaim. Luis Gutiérrez of Wine Advocate made a recent visit, tasting through 20 vintages and learning the backstory of this project.
Rioja’s Destiny Comes into Alignment with Telmo Rodríguez’s Vision
Since the first vintage in 2010, Lindes de Remelluri has been Telmo Rodríguez and Pablo Eguzkiza’s way of elevating awareness of the work of Rioja’s vinegrowers. By showcasing the terroir of villages, rather than emphasizing barrel aging, the Lindes project spearheaded the overdue changes that are now part of a wider revolution within Spain’s most famous denominación de origen. In this Wine Advocate article, Luis Gutierrez checks in on the region, highlighting how Lindes de Remelluri is redefining Rioja with the 2021 vintage (scoring them 93-95 points).
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.

Abadía da Cova
The pioneering Moure family have been a consistent and visible presence in contributing to the preservation and the growth of winemaking in Ribeira Sacra. Taking a communal, ‘high tides raise all boats’ approach to the development of their home region has helped bring the palates of the wine world to the impressive, riverside terraces of inland Galicia. This attitude, in addition to the superb quality of their Abadía da Cova wines, of course, makes them exciting new partners for us at De Maison.
Naguelann Whisky de Bretagne
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 prior to founding Naguelann Distillerie. These five whiskies are a showcase of Lénaïck’s unique balance of technique and vision, and like Brittany as a whole, are unique in the world.
Château Lestage-Darquier Grand Poujeaux & Château Anthonic
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 Basque Highland 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!
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.
