Mais Fica is a small, family-owned vineyard and winery in the Sierra Nevada foothills. We produce Rhone style wines, exclusively, from our Grenache, Mourvedre, and Syrah grapes. Our focus is to produce the highest quality fruit possible from our vineyard to ensure the finest wine. Mais Fica means "more for me" in Portuguese and was a favorite expression of Marty's grandmother, Margaret Azevedo.
She used it most frequently when her many grandkids did not eat all the food she lovingly served them. We truly hope you enjoy our wines, but heck, if you don't, mais fica! Our wine labels and our website page header feature a colorful Portugese rooster, which is the national symbol of Portugal and symbolizes honesty, integrity, trust, and honor -- all values which are important to us and our winery business.

About The Winemakers
Report
Marty and Eileen first started making wine in the basement of their Redwood City home with a 1998 Barbera. After receiving numerous awards as home winemakers and repeated requests from family and friends for more wine, they decided to venture forth in planning for a commercial vineyard and winery. In 2001 they purchased their 10 acre estate in Placerville and started planting the vineyard.

Report
As a micro boutique winery and vineyard we can do more things by hand and in small lots that larger wineries cannot afford to do. We plan to limit our production to less than 500 cases per year. The grapes are hand picked and sorted before destemming and crushing. Fermentation takes place in small open top bins which allows for punching down manually three times a day.
Our Vineyard
Report
The Mais Fica estate vineyard is situated in the Northern California Sierra foothills, half way between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe. Located in the Pleasant Valley district of Placerville, at an elevation of 2500', we are surrounded by pines and oaks. A snow covered peak of the Crystal Basin mountain range accentuates our beautiful setting and vineyards.
