It’s been a busy year on the buying front, with a number of new estates joining our portfolio. We are delighted to have been appointed agents for the legendary Vina Pedrosa from Ribera del Duero, whose wines are beautifully harmonious, concentrated and refined. Meanwhile, we have been amazed by the quality of Simcic, quite simply Slovenia’s top estate, situated on the border with Italy’s Collio. Schild Estate from the Barossa Valley, Chassagne-Montrachet’s Jean-Marc Morey, Château Grand Bert from St-Emilion and Sportoletti from Umbria are also among the new introductions.
