José Beneitez & Liliana Fernández
Based in Arribes, a tiny and remote region in the far west of Spain, right on the Portuguese border.
laura gindorf
If you’re looking for the truest expression of Riesling in the world, Germany’s Mosel Valley is a great place to start.
Laurent Fournier
An under-the-radar name (Laurent Fournier) making sensational wine in an under-the-radar region (Marsannay). Perfect.
Laurent Habrard
Laurent Habrard describes himself as ‘the happy winemaker’ and when you speak to him, it’s hard not to get caught up in his positivity and good energy.
Lidewij van Wilgen
Lidewij's Saint-Chinian wines are all about elegance and freshness - a style she achieves through her vibrant and healthy vineyards, and gentle winemaking.
Luis Louro
Alentejo - if you gave me a pot of gold to buy a vineyard anywhere on planet Earth - I’d probably pick this place.
Maite Sánchez
Garnacha is a grape on the rise in Spain, and talented young winemakers like Maite are driving this revolution.
Marc Ripoll
Just two hours from Barcelona, I love drinking and visiting Priorat - if you like your reds big, and with tons going on, then Marc’s wines are for you.
Mateo Ruiz
I first met Mateo through my great friend Carlos Rodriguez back in 2014. We called into his winery near Logrono for a ‘quick Sunday lunch’
Matt Michael
Matt Michael is one of Sonoma’s hottest talents. On the side, he’s slowly growing his small family business, Baldassari Wines, with his dad Dom.

Mauricio is one of Argentina's most respected winemakers, and I've known him for years. So it’s a real coup to get him on board.

Nigel Ludlow
Nigel’s a one-man-band, having started with two barrels of Chardonnay in his garage in 2007 and grown steadily since.
Olivier Hillaire
Olivier Hillaire has two big passions in life - wine and rugby. He modestly tells me he played at a ‘reasonable’ level - for Grenoble and Bayonne in the Top 14 equivalent back then.
OSCAR ARAGON
It was on a trip early in my wine career to see Oscar and his sister Amelia that I properly fell in love with Ribera del Duero.
PILAR GARCIA
It’s fair to say Pilar is a bit of a white wine nut. She only makes white wine. Her husband makes white wine. She’s a lecturer in the University of Valladolid, teaching students about the chemistry of white wine.
Pilar Higuero
Pilar is the self-confessed ‘crazy wine woman of Galicia’. But the story of how she got here is fascinating.

Umberto Marchiori and his family are a rare breed indeed - a small Prosecco producer. In a region dominated by mass-produced generic-tasting fizz, Marchiori wines really stand out.
Virgile & Magdalena Joly
We worked together for years in the UK, and I’m delighted to finally bring Virgile and Magda’s wines to Ireland
Wade Metzer
My good friend Johan Kruger introduced us - they did a harvest together at Jordan Winery in 2003. Johan said he was struck by Wade’s passion and talent at the time… and his incredible focus.
