Every once in a while, we come across a wine that is really fantastic, but doesn’t meet our requirements to be a “Small Vineyards” wine. It may come from an estate that is larger (and therefore doesn’t satisfy our 10% rule), or it could include a portion mechanically-harvested grapes. But the wine is good, really good–and it deserves a home. So, we import these wines under our sister company, Largo Wines.
