Once committed orders are filled for a given varietal, we will immediately post availability, if any, of additional grapes. There is a reasonably good chance that there will be additional barbera.

Port Grape “Shares” for Sale
Available for sale for the first time are shares in the 2011 production of our “port” vineyard consisting of (in expected order of decreasing proportion) touriga nacional, tempranillo, tinto cao, souzao, and tinta amarella. A share ($200) entitles the holder to 10% of the 2011 production of each varietal from our 2005-planted estate “port” vineyard that we call The Quinta. The grapes are, in fact, suitable for both dry and dessert style wines. This is a unique opportunity for persons working on a home winemaking scale to easily access, in one-stop fashion, the blend of relatively obscure varietal grapes that would go into a Portuguese port-style wine. Such wines are notable for their complexity and ability to age well.
