***Wait list requests accepted; current list shown below.  Note:  Don’t be discouraged.  Clients prefer certainty, so some ahead of you may secure fruit elsewhere or go in a different direction before offered the fruit.

Update:  Fruit set looks excellent in primitivo and good in the barbera.  We expect to be able to provide fruit to our current primitivo waitlist clients, and possibly to some barbera clients, and will confirm at the point of greater certainty.  It is also possible if not probable that some non-Quinta field touriga will become available once our current commitments are satisfied.

Comments about 2017 Grape Availability:  Demand has been brisk among our existing commercial clients, leaving only the limited tonnages shown for sale.  We do anticipate additional primitivo availability–potentially 2 tons or more–and additional barbera is also likely but the wait list already includes a 2-ton order.  The Quinta is committed in its entirety and so there will be no opportunity for surplus there.  The varietal tempranillo is also spoken for.

The bottom line is that if you are interested in our grapes beyond the limited current postings, we encourage you to contact us and get on a waiting list, as it’s likely we’ll be able to commit additional fruit of certain varietals once we see fruit set and can better estimate yield.

Comments about 2017 Grape Availability:  Demand has been brisk among our existing commercial clients, leaving only the limited tonnages shown for sale.  We do anticipate additional primitivo availability–potentially 2 tons or more–and 2 or more tons of additional barbera are also possible based on decisions we make about the farming and the vicissitudes of the season.  Finally, a small amount of touriga (0.5 ton or less) may also become available, depending on yield.  The Quinta is committed in its entirety and so there will be no opportunity for surplus there.

The bottom line is that if you are interested in our grapes beyond the limited current postings, we encourage you to contact us and get on a waiting list, as it’s likely we’ll be able to commit additional fruit once we see fruit set and can better estimate yield.
