Founded in 1920 by the brothers José, Manuel and Albano Costa, it remains today the oldest family owned winery in the region. The family began to sell DOC wines in the 1950s creating two of the most celebrated Portuguese brands: FREI JOÃO from Bairrada and PORTA DOS CAVALEIROS from the Dão. A half century later they boast one of the most varied and exceptional sparkling wine programs in the country.

Coquard Chiroubles 2019
$36.99
100% Gamay from the Chiroubles appellation in Beaujolais. This is one of the smallest appellations and also one of the most elevated, with some vineyards rising over 450m above sea level.
The 2019 presents lovely purple florals and crisp red fruit. Imagine fresh picked cherry meets a lavender bloom. These aromas are folded into a soft bed of silky fine tannins. Enjoy this wine young or let it develop up to 2029.

Reverdito Barolo Ascheri 2016
$129.99
Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 4,000 bottles
Soil: Marl
Barolo produced here is best described as “warm-hearted”. Michele’s Barolo Ascheri comes from the classic chalky soils of La Morra about 250 meters up the steep hillside, inter-planted with several types of grasses and beans to aid biodiversity and soil structure. The resulting wine has an enticing nose of flowers, ripe strawberries and dark cherries, and a good mouthful of plummy ripe elegant fruit. This deceptively mid-weight Barolo has a ton to offer.

Monterail Costieres de Nimes 2021
$21.99
Dense and deep red with purple highlights. The nose is ripe with red fruit compote, mixed with a touch of spice. The full bodied mouthfeel and harmonious palate is loaded with ripe fruit and silky tannins with an excellent lengthy finish. This beautiful Rhône is an ideal accompaniment to grilled meats and Mediterranean cuisine.
