About us

58 Fahrenheit is the brainchild of Mariano De Raczynski and Michel Lombard who identified a veritable need to connect French vignerons with the North-American market. Their honest ambition: to be sustainably present, both in France and beyond its borders, working with winegrowers who are artisans, strongly attached to the land and their vines, and who are invested in the integrity of the wine from the terroir to the palate.

Maintaining the temperature of the wine is imperative in preserving its structure and integrity, hence the name “58 Fahrenheit”.
