Smith-Madrone Winery is now represented by three distributors new to the winery: Eagle Eye Brands in Michigan; New France in Minnesota and Ocean South in North Carolina.
“We are delighted to be represented by these distinguished distributors,” said Stu Smith, General Partner/Enologist, Smith-Madrone, in making the announcement.
Smith-Madrone’s current releases, all estate-grown fruit from vineyards surrounding the winery at the top of the Spring Mountain District appellation in the northern Napa Valley, are 2016 Riesling, 2017 Chardonnay, 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2016 Cook’s Flat Reserve.
Smith-Madrone is one of Napa Valley’s authentically artisanal wineries, founded in 1971 by Stuart Smith. Winemaking and grape-growing are handled entirely by the two brother-proprietors, Stuart and Charles Smith.
All of Smith-Madrone’s wines come from the 38 acres of estate vineyards surrounding the winery, originally planted 48 years ago by Stuart and Charles. The vineyards extend across steep mountainsides, at steep slopes at elevations between 1,300 and 1,900 feet. Total production each year is less than 4,000 cases. More at www.smithmadrone.com.
