DAOU Vineyards, one of the world's leading wine estates in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles, announced release of 2023 DAOU Soul of a Lion. The flagship Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle expression of DAOU Mountain and the uncompromising pursuit of excellence that defines the winery. Inspired by their benchmark wine, DAOU will debut Soul of a City, an experiential tour that brings the legacy and spirit of DAOU Mountain to leading cultural capitals this spring.

"As the crown jewel of the portfolio, Soul of a Lion represents the pinnacle of our winemaking and is a true reflection of DAOU Mountain's power and elegance," said José Alberto Moreira dos Santos, General Manager and Senior Winemaker of DAOU Vineyards. "2023 was an exceptional year with long hang times and moderate temperatures, allowing us to achieve notable phenolic maturity while preserving freshness and natural acidity. It is a vintage showcasing both the technical precision and the artistry that defines Soul of a Lion."

In tandem with the new vintage, DAOU will host Soul of a City, a multi-city experiential tour inspired by Soul of a Lion. Designed as an exclusive opportunity for wine enthusiasts to preview the 2023 release, the program captures the enduring spirit of DAOU Mountain through curated wine experiences that reflect the unique cultural lens of cities across America. The tour will debut this spring, launching in Miami on March 25, 2026, followed by Los Angeles on April 23, 2026, with guided tastings led by local tastemakers, elevated culinary pairings, and immersive design reflecting the personality of each host city.
