• With a freeze on alcohol duty just announced we are looking forward to brighter times ahead so here’s a recap on two of our new french wines that you can look forward to adding to your wine lists when restrictions start to lift. *Picpoul de Pinet Les Roches Saintes 2019* is bright and fresh with green apple and citrus notes, dry and crisp and opens up in the glass. Lovely when chilled and served alfresco on a warm day. *Château Fontanche Les Uyeres 2019, St Chinian* is a luscious blend of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan. It is aromatic, spicy, powerful and intense. Lovely served alfresco on a cooler day!! #12thApril 🤞 #alfrescodining #alfrescowining #wine #newwines #picpouldepinet #stchinian #redwine #whitewine #wineimporter #syrah #grenache #carignan #dutyfreeze #languedoc

  • One of the Gold medal winners from our french portfolio is @champagnecastelnau’s Rosé NV awarded from @sommelierwineawards #2020. “Orange peel and flower notes on the nose, with some honey too, leading to some good bubbles on the fresh and clean palate, full of fruit and herbal flavours. Good length and intensity on the finish.” Agostinho Leite, Bistrot Pierre at The Royal William Yard. “Mineral, with a touch of salinity, with citrus zest and a red fruit backdrop.” Nigel Lister, St. Swithins Wine Shippers It’s a medal that we’re very proud of, but never really saw the light of day last year, and is proof that a rosé is for life, not just for Valentine’s! #goldmedal #champagne #rosé #wine #wineawards #wineimporter 📸: @benoit_pelletier

  • French wine is where it all began for us. In 1981 we started out as Patriarche Père et Fils Ltd and as the name suggests @patriarchepereetfils were the first wines we imported. We’ve grown and evolved so much since then and now French wines represent 50% of our wine list from 16 different wineries that cover all the major French wine producing regions. Vive la France 🇫🇷 🍷🥂 #wine #wineimporter #frenchwines #champagne #burgundy #vindefrance #cremantdebourgogne #bordeaux #rhone #loire #languedoc #aixenprovence #france #redwine #whitewine #rosé #sparklingwine

  • 🥂2021 Wine List alert 🥂 By the time March reaches us everyone will have experienced a birthday in one version of lock-down or another. Our 40th anniversary is no exception and as celebrating hasn't been high on agendas, we are releasing our 2021 anniversary wine list with a quiet fan-fair. Among many new features our 2021 e-list has a new look and more space to celebrate many of the longstanding suppliers we have worked with over the years. As you browse through you will notice the most comprehensive list of attributes we have produced so far which labels each wine and winery with its suitability for vegetarians or vegans and its sustainable and organic farming credentials which have never been more important to the end consumer than now. Our digital library of bottle shots, vineyards, wineries and videos has never been stronger and all these resources are available for you to use in your own communications so please do get in touch. We are still hopeful that we will be able to celebrate this company milestone in person with you when it is safe to do so, but in the mean time we hope that our new wine list inspires the wine choices you and your customers make over the coming year. Follow the link in our bio to view. #wine #winelist #wineimporter #est1981 #40yearsold #rubyanniversary

  • Oak Valley - Elgin- South Africa This historic estate in South Africa’s cool climate Elgin Valley is more than just a winery. Founded in 1898 the farm is home to 4,000 oak trees, apple and pear orchards, greenhouses packed with fresh cut flowers, cattle, free range acorn fed pigs, 30km of mountain biking trails and of course: vines. We’ve been importing wines from Oak Valley since 2016 and time has flown, we have yet to visit there ourselves but when travel is back, we will. For now though we’ll make do with this stunning shot of the moody, wild and cool Elgin: a visual representation of #SpectacularSouthAfrica. #VisitSAwinelands @visitSAwinelands #WineTourismSouthAfrica #SupportSouthAfrica #DrinkSouthAfrican #southafricanwine #wineimporter #wine

  • 🥂It’s our 40th birthday! 🥂 We’re officially middle aged! On this very day back in 1981 our company was incorporated. Originally known as Patriarche Wine Agencies we started by importing wines from @patriarchepereetfils. Over the years we have grown and adapted our portfolio and we are now very proud to represent over 40 top-class wineries from around the world. We’re not able to celebrate this milestone how we had planned but when we can it will be one hell of a party!

  • Quite a few of our wineries are celebrating or have celebrated their 40th anniversary recently... just like we’re about to. But a number of our wineries are quite a bit ahead of us, like @scrimaglio1920 and @champagnecastelnau who are over 100years old! We’ll be celebrating them and all our other partners and suppliers over the coming months as we turn our attention to our 40th anniversary: the story so far and the plans for the future. #wineimporter #wine #40thanniversary #celebration #40yearsold #1981 #history #future

  • "This is the best value Californian Chardonnay on the shelves..." says @matthewjukes of our @cyclesgladiator Chardonnay 2018 in #TheDailyMail. "...it is packed with apple compote and wild honey notes on the nose. The palate is sleek, juicy, ripe and long and it is a dreamy wine to drink with a beautiful roast chicken." Available @flagshipwines @platformwines @cyclesgladiator winemaker Adam LaZarre explains a bit more about why this wine is so good "I put a considerable amount of effort into this vintage and I’m glad it’s paying off. Not very many people expect much out of inexpensive California Chardonnays, myself included, but I figured with the appropriate vineyard and fermentation management, I could coax some pretty interesting flavors out of this wine. That was our first vintage with the Truesdale Vineyard and I’m happy to say that I’ve just completed our third harvest from that same block." We're happy too Adam! Cheers! #californiachardonnay #californiawine #chardonnay #wine #winemakers #winereviews #bestvalue #wineimporter #cheers
