Wine Spectator: Trinchero And Grapegrower David Abreu Partner On New Napa Wine

Wine Spectator has learned that famed Napa grapegrower David Abreu and Trinchero Family Estates (TFE) have agreed to partner on a new wine brand in the TFE portfolio using grapes grown from Abreu’s four Napa Valley vineyards. The deal links one of Napa’s top names in vineyards with one of its most respected companies.

Abreu is a third-generation farmer who founded Abreu Vineyards in 1980. He also consults on grapegrowing for some of the wine world’s top brands, planting and farming vineyards for names including Spottswoode, Harlan, and Bryant. With Brad Grimes in charge of winemaking since 2005, Abreu’s own wines have garnered multiple scores of 95 points or higher on Wine Spectator’s 100-point scale.

“[This] is a big deal for us,” TFE’s CEO Bob Torkelson told Wine Spectator. TFE has been acquiring grapes from Abreu since 2021 and incorporating them into the Trinchero Napa Valley wine program. Torkelson sees the new brand with Abreu as a key part of TFE’s newly announced Heritage Division, its luxury wine portfolio. Here’s the full story.
