In Refrontolo, a small hilly village between the two famous Prosecco towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, the family began, and they have recently accrued two other vineyards for a combined 40 hectares of total estate. In 1971, Tiziano De Stefani (Alessandro's father) moved his family to the Fossalta di Piave where they could grow many different grapes on the clay soils of the old river plain as well as their esteemed Glera vineyards for Prosecco production. A complete dedication to practices that are as natural as possible means the estate is organically farmed (soon to be certified), they rely only on naturally occurring yeasts, and never add sulfites during vinification (since 2009) to make beautiful wines from the many varietals that they have found in their unique terrain. De Stefani's Redentore label comes from the younger vines of the estate that will someday be destined to carry the house's flagship label. All the wines are vinified in the exact same way but bring incredible value to the estate as a whole.

In 2010 he moved back into the old family house with his wife Karine and took over the fields from his father, looking forward to converting everything to organic viticulture, and starting to make wine from their grapes that had always gone to a local cooperative. Slowly expanding in\u003cbr\u003eAlsace’s diverse land, Daniel farms 8.5 hectares, in 40 plots (some are as small as 2 rows of vines), to 8 grape varieties, on 3 different soil types (black clay, limestone, and sandstone).

Natural fermentation begins in stainless steel and lasts for about one month with daily pump-overs. The finished wine rested in tank for about seven months before a small (and first) dose of sulfites, no filtration nor fining, and then bottling. The result is a golden straw white with aromatics of apples, crisp but ripe pears, and stony minerality. In the mouth, there is a lovely texture that remains vibrantly fresh, while still giving weight and depth, loaded with fruit, brine, and earth. Long in the mouth, and built for a gigantic feast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2a2a2a;\" color=\"#2a2a2a\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThere is a very exciting renaissance that has been happening in the Beaujolais region of France, and at its core is a new generation of winemakers that have learned everything they know from their progenitors. To pair with that unparalleled guidance, there is a youthful energy and worldly view that is taking the wines and the region to new heights. Sébastien Besson is now the fourth generation of the family to take the helm at Domaine du Penlois, which originated in the 1920’s by his great-grandfather Benoît, situated on a small hill called Lancié (nestled in between Morgon, Fleurie, and Moulin-à-Vent). Sébastien’s father, Maxence, took over in 1977 and accrued more and more Cru vineyards in the region, giving the Domaine 30 hectares in total. While making the sustainably farmed Domaine wines with his father, Sébastien began an eponymous project in 2016. He converted small granite-rich plots on the property to strict organic farming, spanning not only portions of their Village Appellation sites, but parcels of three Crus as well (a total of 7 hectares). With natural fermentations and aging in concrete vats, and a small sulfur addition before bottling, the wines of Sébastien Besson are pure, driven, and remarkable expressions of top Beaujolais.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bonvivantimports.com\/uploads\/7\/2\/2\/1\/72211495\/besson_la_criee_beaujolais_blanc_22_ts.pdf\" title=\"Sebastien Besson Beaujolais Blanc La Criee 2022\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTech Sheet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sebastien Besson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50183974715665,"sku":"HG2003","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8755\/8673\/files\/SebastienBessonBeaujolaisBlancLaCriee2020_562961fb-6f3a-4ebf-993a-1aa3788637ed.png?v=1697129679"},{"product_id":"quinta-do-romeu-branco-reserva-2022-750ml","title":"Quinta do Romeu Branco Reserva 2022 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eField Blend of Gouveio, Rabigato, Viosinho, Arinto\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Quinta do Romeu Reserva Branco is the estate’s only white wine, made from a field blend of local white varietals, predominately Douro Gouveio Real, Rabigato, Voisinho, and Arinto.

The domaine officially took shape in 1970, when André Grand and his brothers expanded the family vineyards to 25 hectares, fully dedicating themselves to viticulture—building on the foundation laid by their father, René Grand. This set the stage for the next generation to carry the domaine forward. In 2011, Emmanuel Grand (André’s son) and Nathalie Morin took the reins, bringing a new vision to the estate. With deep roots in Jura wine—Emmanuel continuing his family’s legacy and Nathalie coming from a line of winemakers in Arbois—they sought to refine the domaine’s focus. By 2015, they had carefully selected the finest 11 hectares to farm organically, prioritizing sustainability, precision, and the purest expression of their terroir. Their vineyards stretch from Arbois to Château-Chalon, with the majority surrounding their home, featuring vines ranging from 25-50 years old to a remarkable century-old plot. Specializing in Chardonnay, Savagnin (both ouillé and oxidative), Trousseau, and Pinot Noir, Domaine Grand produces around 45,000 bottles annually. With Nathalie leading the work in the vineyards and Emmanuel in the cellar, they handle everything themselves—practicing organic farming, aging in old barrels, and using only minimal sulfites at pressing.

This is exceptional Rioja that brings together historic practices in the cellar, while also taking advantage of some more modern techniques, all while offering great value for authentically made wine from an area where large production has become a norm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Solar de Randez Blanco 2023\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonvivantimports.com\/uploads\/7\/2\/2\/1\/72211495\/sdr_blanco_2023_ts.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTech Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodegas las Orcas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51491484205329,"sku":"HG2240","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8755\/8673\/files\/sdrb.jpg?v=1741729271"},{"product_id":"famille-fabre-equilibre-sauvignon-blanc-2024","title":"Famille Fabre Équilibre Sauvignon Blanc, Pays d'oc 2024 (750 ml)","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e100% Sauvignon Blanc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel, Neutral yeast\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 months\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilter \/ Fining\u003c\/strong\u003e Light filter, Bentonite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Sulfur \/ RS\u003c\/strong\u003e 78 mg\/l, 0 g\/l\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarming Methods\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Certified\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cem\u003e2024 Équilibre Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/em\u003e vineyards comes from the south side of the famous village of Beziers, just east of the AOC Corbieres.

Fast-forward over four hundred years, and the estate’s growth has not only been impressive, but the focus on quality and respect for the land they have grown into, has grown at even more stunning rates. The family now operates 5 individual and small Chateau throughout the Languedoc, each focusing on different terroir, different climate, and the differing native grapes, with respect for the land and grapes as their top priority. Louis Fabre became one of the first in the Languedoc to ‘go green’ in 1991 by converting the property to organics, and in 2014 the estate was awarded with the level 3 HVE (high environmental value). The Équilibre range of wines is a portion of their consciously farmed fruit that is dedicated to predominantly single varieties, and from general IGP areas of the estate. Working to showcase the vibrancy of each grape and the terroir from which it comes, this group of remarkable values from the south of France is a beautiful accompaniment to the AOC expressions of the domaine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Famille Fabre Équilibre Sauvignon Blanc, Pays d'oc 2024\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonvivantimports.com\/uploads\/7\/2\/2\/1\/72211495\/equilibre_sauvignon_blanc_24_ts.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTech Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Famille Fabre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51491528409361,"sku":"HG2244","price":14.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8755\/8673\/files\/FamilleFabreEquilibreSauvignonBlanc.png?v=1760467441"},{"product_id":"emme-the-sun-egg-muscat-vert-russian-river-valley-2024-750-ml","title":"Emme 'the sun egg' Muscat Vert, Russian River Valley 2024 (750 ml)","description":"\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrape:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Muscat Vert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVineyard: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNakai\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAVA: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRussian River Valley\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFarming: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrganic, Dry Farmed\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvest Date: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e30 August 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBottling Date: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20 March 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlc: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e13%\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCases:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 75\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy second time making an individual wine out of Aki Nakai’s Muscat Vert, and I love the 2024 just as much as the 2023.  While the weather in Russian River Valley was similar to Redwood Valley (consistently hot but no major heat waves, and cold nights), the Muscat Vert is less hardy than the Colombard or Carignan, and prefers cooler weather.  As a result, the vines didn’t produce as much fruit as they did in 2023, and the grapes are perhaps even more aromatically concentrated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Muscat Vert was pressed directly, settled overnight, and racked off gross lees to stainless steel for fermentation.  Once fermentation finished, the wine was placed into a combination of stainless steel and neutral oak barrels to age for 6 months before being racked together for bottling in March.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAki calls this fruit Muscat Vert, so I feel it’s right to put this variety on the label.  However, I am unsure as to whether or not it is truly a Muscat, as it lacks the distinctive aromatics I normally associate with the variety.  At the same time, it is certainly more aromatic than Colombard or Chardonnay or Chenin, an aspect which I believe is beautifully exemplified in this direct to press expression of the grape.  Whatever the variety is, it is unique among the other wines I produce, and I am very happy to be able to continue to make a single varietal wine from it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIndigenous yeast fermentation.

In the cellar, an absolutely minimal approach is the secret to each perfect bottling, with a gravity flow system instead of pumps, all old wood and concrete use for aging, and very little sulfur additions, letting the native grapes of the area tell their individual story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bonvivantimports.com\/uploads\/7\/2\/2\/1\/72211495\/ronsel_do_sil_veluveyra_godello_23_ts.pdf\" title=\"Ronsel do Sil Vel'uveyra Godello 2023\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTech Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ronsel do Sil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559224443153,"sku":"HG2266","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8755\/8673\/files\/Vel_uveyraGodello2023.png?v=1792600458"},{"product_id":"bodegas-aldial-lanzos-verdejo-blanco-2024-750ml","title":"Bodegas Aldial Lanzos Verdejo Blanco 2024 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003e100% Verdejo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation \u003c\/strong\u003eStainless steel, Selected yeasts\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAging \u003c\/strong\u003eNone\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilter \/ Fining \u003c\/strong\u003eYes\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABV \u003c\/strong\u003e13%\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarming Methods \u003c\/strong\u003eSustainable\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLanzos Blanco\u003c\/em\u003e is not only remarkably fresh and delicious, but it is a great example of the incredible value coming from the Castilla y Leon region of Spain.

The family now operates 5 individual and small Chateau throughout the Languedoc, each focusing on different terroir, different climate, and the differing native grapes, with respect for the land and grapes as their top priority. Louis Fabre became one of the first in the Languedoc to ‘go green’ in 1991 by converting the property to organics, and in 2014 the estate was awarded with the level 3 HVE (high environmental value). The Équilibre range of wines is a portion of their consciously farmed fruit that is dedicated to predominantly single varieties, and from general IGP areas of the estate.

His passion began to take form in 1996 when he accrued his estate near the town of Okondo, and began planting his first 2 hectares of vines, and grew with each year. Once his vines produced the grapes he found suitable, he built his bodega in 2008 for his first vintage of wine at the age of 68.

This set the stage for the next generation to carry the domaine forward. In 2011, Emmanuel Grand (André’s son) and Nathalie Morin took the reins, bringing a new vision to the estate. With deep roots in Jura wine—Emmanuel continuing his family’s legacy and Nathalie coming from a line of winemakers in Arbois—they sought to refine the domaine’s focus. By 2015, they had carefully selected the finest 11 hectares to farm organically, prioritizing sustainability, precision, and the purest expression of their terroir. Their vineyards stretch from Arbois to Château-Chalon, with the majority surrounding their home, featuring vines ranging from 25-50 years old to a remarkable century-old plot. Specializing in Chardonnay, Savagnin (both ouillé and oxidative), Trousseau, and Pinot Noir, Domaine Grand produces around 45,000 bottles annually. With Nathalie leading the work in the vineyards and Emmanuel in the cellar, they handle everything themselves—practicing organic farming, aging in old barrels, and using only minimal sulfites at pressing. Shaped by the Jura’s challenging climate, their wines are pure, expressive, and deeply compelling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Domaine Grand Arbois Chardonnay, Jura 2024\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bonvivantimports.com\/uploads\/7\/2\/2\/1\/72211495\/domaine_grand_chardonnay_24_ts.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTech Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Grand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51882841800977,"sku":"HG2340","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8755\/8673\/files\/Grand-Chardonnay.jpg?v=1744047378"},{"product_id":"cremisan-dabouki-west-bank-2023-750-ml","title":"Cremisan Dabouki, Bethlehem 2023 (750 ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDabouki wine is obtained from the indigenous Palestinian grape called Dabouki, cultivated mainly in the area of Bethlehem and Hebron. The grapes are of green-yellow color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe grapes ripen around the middle of September.

After a hand harvest, the grapes were brought to the cellar and saw a horizontal press with whole bunches so that a natural fermentation in stainless steel could begin. The fine lees were stirred often to give great texture to the wine, and since Grenache Blanc does not have naturally high acidity, after fermentation finished, the wine was placed outside for the winter (with one racking after about two weeks), preventing malolactic fermentation to take place, and retaining as much freshness as possible in the finished wine. After a second racking in February, and a dose of SO2, the wine was bottled in March for an April release. Brilliant aromas of jasmine, honeysuckle, and a touch of iodine, lead to a very round mouth feel that has a mineral driven freshness, a yeasty quality, and an overall scrumptious texture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJasus Lalandi is a species of lobster that lived off a small island between Australia and South Africa that was under French rule.

Grafted in 2020 this will be our second vintage of our Savagnin. This wine and varietal type are on point from our clay soils at the ranch. Cole Ranch is home to 2 clones of Savagnin: Savagnin Vert (\"green\") and Savagnin Jaune (\"yellow\"). Both have their role in this wine as the Jaune provides aromatic flavors, and the Vert is prized for its acidity. Most of us think of Savagnin as a Vin Jaune (\"yellow wine\"), where the wine sits in barrel for up to 6 years under a veil (a layer of yeast called Le Voile (\"the veil\")) giving the wine a nutty, spiced Sherry like character. The Rootdown Savagnin is made in the Ouillé style (regularly topped) - So think fresh!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCole Ranch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur vineyard, Cole Ranch, is the smallest Appellation in the United States at 180 acres and 44 acres producing fruit. It sits inside of a terrarium-like microclimate and is tightly surrounded by multiple mountain ranges and hills with no other vineyards close by. Cooler and wetter than surrounding wine producing areas, its high elevation, drastic temperature swings and overall cooler climate leads to a longer growing season which preserves the acidity that is unique to Cole Ranch fruit. Cole Ranch hosts a terroir known for wines expressing vitality, earthiness, and electricity. When Mike acquired this vineyard in 2019, he began the stewardship of a vineyard that expresses its true self with grapes that thrive in its unique conditions.
