DAOU Vineyards, the acclaimed luxury wine estate from Paso Robles, California, has announced a strategic distribution partnership with Findlater & Co., a leading force across the island of Ireland.
This collaboration marks a pivotal moment in DAOU’s mission to bring world-class wines to both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The agreement will spotlight DAOU’s prestigious Reserve collection and its iconic flagship wine, Soul of a Lion—a Cabernet Sauvignon that embodies the estate’s vision to position Paso Robles among the world’s most celebrated fine-wine regions.
Richard Moriarty, wine director at Findlater & Co., commented: “We are delighted to welcome DAOU Vineyards to the Findlater & Co. portfolio. DAOU represents a new benchmark for premium Californian wine, combining exceptional terroir with precision winemaking.
“Soul of a Lion is a remarkable expression of Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, and we look forward to building a strong presence and awareness of the brand across both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, across on-trade and premium retail sectors.”
Founded in 2007 by brothers Daniel and Georges Daou, the estate’s 212-acre mountaintop vineyard in the Adelaida District offers unique terroir defined by calcareous clay soils and a 2,200-foot elevation.
These conditions have propelled DAOU to international acclaim, with Soul of a Lion—released in 2010—challenging Napa Valley’s dominance and redefining luxury Cabernet Sauvignon.
“Soul of a Lion is the heart of the DAOU portfolio—our crown jewel,” said Neb Lukic, president, Luxury Sales and Marketing at Treasury Wine Estates.
“It played a pivotal role in putting Paso Robles on the global wine map. More than a wine, Soul of a Lion is a tribute to resilience, to the Daou family, and to the enduring spirit that transforms dreams into legacies.”
