Domaine Roy & Fils Quartz Acorn Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Willamette Valley

November 28, 2025 - The Quartz Acorn Vineyard, located in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, faces southeast and is rooted in ancient, well-draining marine sedimentary soils rich in quartz. Hand-sorted, 100% barrel fermented with full malolactic. It is aged on lees for 10 months in 20% new French oak. On the palate, it offers notes of apple and peach, bright citrus and white flowers, balanced by light creaminess, lively acidity, and a clean, saline finish.

Domaine Roy & Fils Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2023

Willamette Valley

November 28, 2025 - The calling card of Domaine Roy & Fils, the Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is the only Pinot from the winery that comes from both estate vineyards in Dundee Hills and Yamhill-Carlton. The wine expresses the signature style of Domaine Roy & Fils, favoring elegance over power: floral notes mix with lifted red fruit on the nose, followed by a bright, sappy Bing cherry character on the palate.

Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Rioja D.O.Ca. 2017

Rioja

November 25, 2025 - Marqués de Riscal 150 Aniversario Gran Reserva is a wine which is only made in excellent vintages, originally created to mark the bodega’s 150th anniversary, as well as the history and winemaking traditions of the Rioja Alavesa. Grapes are harvested from some of the region’s oldest vineyard plots, with a minimum age of 80 years. These are generally venerable, low yielding vines which produce some of the highest quality fruit of the harvest. 150 Aniversario combines modernity and tradition; it is the ultimate and most genuine expression of the Rioja Alavesa.
