The one man that was trusted by almost all Napa cult wines

His name is David Abreu. A rancher turned one of the most sought-after viticulturist in Napa Valley. He replanted Screaming Eagle in 2006. His grapes went into the bottlings of ' Cariad every year. He is the Grape Guy behind a long list of well respected wineries in the valley, having farmed grapes for Harlan, Blankiet, Sloan, Araujo, Bryant Family, Staglin, Family and more. He is more than just a talented grape grower - together with a niche and specialised team, his namesake winery Abreu Vineyards has been making highly rated wines for 30 years.

Abreu Vineyards has cemented a solid reputation delivering superb wines, guaranteed by David Abreu's ability to crop supreme quality grapes from each of the single vineyards that he owned and managed. Winemaker Brad Grimes has since 2000 brought in his Chef's sensibilities into Abreu's miniscule production - just around 12,000 bottles a year - coaxing a sense of place and purity, on top of Napa's hallmark generosity and voluptuousness, into these single vineyard expressions.

Robert Parker 100-point reviews are no stranger to Abreu Vineyard's production. Loyal fans of Abreu Vineyards look up to these prized bottles as one of the very best wines made from the most meticulously managed grapes in Napa Valley. If you consider yourself a drinker of wines that are second to none in terms of absolute quality and artisanship, Abreu is your cup of tea.
