About Us
The Dirty Dozen
We are committed to wine of integrity and authenticity. We believe in wines that speak of their terroir. We select winemakers that cherish their vineyards and the environment. We choose small over large and real before synthetic. We import wines for people that care, made by people that care.
We are the Dirty Dozen. Welcome to our tasting.

Table One Raymond Reynolds Raymond Reynolds Limited has specialized in single estate wines from Portugal for over 20 years, and Raymond, Danny and Jackie have collectively over 40 years of experience in the country’s wines. Icon producers like Soalheiro, Ameal, Roques, Malhadinha, Niepoort, Luis Pato, Vale Meao and Mouro are all shipped direct. In the last few years, a number of border raids have resulted in some notable additions from Spain. Boutique Port and Madeira are a speciality too, in the form of Niepoort and Barbeito respectively. Delivery is direct from LCB bond in modest minimum quantities.

Table Two Aubert & Mascoli At Aubert & Mascoli, we offer superb French and Italian artisan wines from ambitious vignerons - growers who use their intuition and savoir-faire to make truly wonderful wines. These wines are well kept secrets, made on a small scale and sold regionally. The reasons these winemakers do not export are the small quantities available, and more importantly, they are not on the radar of the English wine trade yet. Each vineyard has its own story, but what these artisan winemakers share is a passion to produce without compromise - exceptional, handcrafted wines which express the characteristics of a place, a soil, a plant and a climate.

Table Three Flint Wines We specialise in Burgundy, working with both established star names and young, up and coming growers of the future. We buy on quality rather than price but remain very competitive thanks to our low overheads. Now entering our sixth year we have real depth of stock in terms of vintages. Outside of Burgundy, we apply the same buying policy of working with small production, quality-driven domaines, whether they be in the Rh么ne Valley or the US. We offer a very personal, flexible and informed service.

Table Four Clark Foyster Wines Clark Foyster Wines Ltd imports fine wine to the UK, from countries including Austria, Portugal, France (Burgundy, Languedoc and Corsica), Australia and New Zealand. The philosophy of Clark Foyster Wines Ltd is a simple one; we aim to be specialists in our chosen field and sell only wines in which we believe. Our range is eclectic and has developed by happy accident through experience of various aspects of the wine trade, ranging from vineyard work, via independent retail to selling to the multiples. For most of our wines, we are the direct importer and in many cases we are exclusive agents for those wines. We believe in close contact with both our suppliers and our customers. Our growers are generally small family-run estates producing wines to the highest standards. They are keenly aware of the fierce competition of the British wine trade and welcome feedback from the UK market. At the same time, we like to provide maximum support to our customers by offering expertise and detailed information on the wines, gained through personal knowledge and genuine enthusiasm.

Table Five Roberson Wine Over twenty years ago we began building what we believe to be the finest place to buy wine in London. From the start, we knew the ingredients: an unparalleled range of fine, rare and mature Bordeaux & Burgundy, wines imported directly from renowned estates and undiscovered artisanal producers and staff with the knowledge and enthusiasm to champion the cause of good wine. Today we continue to believe in the same things. We remain passionate advocates of wines from all over the world that offer value, character and substance. We choose wines that we like - wines that speak of place and individuality from small producers. They make their wines without excessive intervention and many of them farm organically or biodynamically. Although we are proud of the long term relationships we have with many of our growers, the list is a constant work in progress and new discoveries are added each year to keep the selection fresh and exciting.

Table Six Indigo Wine Indigo Wine is an agency business supplying high quality wines to the on-trade and retail sectors. We specialise in fresh and balanced wines with a sense of place from family-run estates in Spain and France, with some real gems from Portugal, Italy, Austria and New Zealand. We now work with some of the most renowned winemakers in Spain, from the well-established to up and coming ground breakers creating one of the best selections of Spanish Wines in the country. This was recognised in 2009 and 2010 when Indigo was named Specialist Merchant of the Year for Spain at the International Wine Challenge. Most of our producers are small holders and grape farmers who aim to make wines that show the flavours garnered from their wonderful fruit rather than from lots of new oak. We believe that this stylistic approach makes our wines fresh and balanced. Increasingly, we have moved towards a more natural style of winemaking, which reflects our personal tastes. Indigo also seeks out interesting indigenous grape varieties that offer vinous sanctuary in an increasingly homogenous world of Cabernet and Sauvignon Blanc.

Table Seven The Wine Treasury The Wine Treasury is a small but perfectly formed specialist wine importer which represents fifty or so quality-driven and charismatic wine producers from around the world and places their wines primarily with restaurants and independent retailers in the UK. Our perhaps slightly unorthodox portfolio reflects our enthusiasm for the diversity of the world’s wines: from the Loire Valley to the Napa Valley, from the Rio Negro to the Tuscan coast it embraces both the classic and the contemporary, the former somewhat less than the latter. We’re just a little bit different: we’re not trying to cover all the wine regions of the world. Instead, we have formed close, usually UK exclusive partnerships with a limited number of wineries which we consider to have something truly distinctive and unique to offer: wineries run by people we like, making the sort of characterful wines we like.

Table Eight H2Vin H2Vin was founded in 2009 by Christian Honorez and Matt Wilkin M.S. The two have shared a professional vision for many years so when they finally saw an opportunity to work to-gether, H2Vin was born. The enthusiastic pair complement each other in every way and their joint determination to constantly achieve the best is evident. Christian’s extensive knowledge of the industry, coupled with his vast experience of sourcing authentic and indi-vidual wines, have earned him an enviable reputation in the wine world. Matt has achieved international recognition as the first Australian Master Sommelier (one of only 184 world-wide) and has won numerous accolades, including the prestigious U.K. Sommelier of the Year award in 2005. The company has already established a reputation for offering an exceptional portfolio to hotels and restaurants as well as independent wine merchants across the U.K. The company prides itself on working mostly with smaller, family-owned wineries that excel in everything they do.

Table Nine Vine Trail Vine Trail are specialist importers of artisanal, small domaine French wines. As a six strong team: Nick, Cath, Andrew, Robert, Lionel and Joe, we research areas in depth by travelling to France, visiting growers and immersing ourselves in their work both in the vineyard and cellar. Using no agents or brokers, we have developed a very individual selection of wines. These include an excellent selection of top growers’ champagnes, fine selection of Rhone and Loire, and little gems from areas both well-trodden like Bordeaux and Burgundy, and off the beaten track such as Savoie and Jura. Finding wines that are natural, well-balanced and accurately reflect their terroirs is our aim; wines made by growers who through hard work in the vineyards, minimal chemical intervention, and good touch and judgement are able to transfer the maximum potential from soil to glass. Whilst the quality of the wine in the bottle is paramount, many of the wines are made by organic or bio-dynamic viticulture.

Table Ten FortyFive10° At FortyFive10° we import, wholesale and retail some of Italy’s finest wines, often exclusively within the UK. Our speciality is selecting outstanding Italian wines from family-run producers. The wines are chosen because they demonstrate the true characteristics of a grape - with distinct personality, and a real sense of ‘terroir’. We work alongside our producers to support and offer wines that celebrate the complex relationship between grape and soil. We look to support the craftsmen who hand down their expertise from one generation to the next in order to offer a selection of wines from great vintages of grand estates through to high quality everyday drinking wines. FortyFive10° was founded by Italian born Massimiliano Jacobacci, whose passion is selecting wines that express the history of a region through traditional wine making techniques as opposed to the current trend for wines of immediate accessibility at the expense of complexity and longevity.
