Brown Family Vineyards has appointed Vintners New Zealand Ltd as its exclusive national distributor to the trade within New Zealand to take effect from this month.
Brown Family Vineyards has a long history in the New Zealand wine industry with the Brown Family growing grapes in Marlborough since 1980. The family are pioneers of the Blind River wine region in the Awatere Valley. General Manager Dion Brown says this is a very exciting opportunity to build their wine brands within New Zealand.
“Since 2003 we have established key export markets in Australia, UK, US and Asia, and New Zealand is a now a focus market for us. Through our relationship with Vintners we aim to further develop the sales of existing core brand Lobster Reef and specialty brand Cable Station Road. Later this year we will launch a new prestige wine range to complete our core brand portfolio. “
Vintners Managing Director Mark Young says Brown Family Vineyards will complement its existing offerings.
“Our New Zealand portfolio has evolved over several years, with a firm focus on product quality and distinctive brands. Like our own business, many of the brands we represent are family-owned and the portfolio that Brown Family Vineyards offers will fit us well.”
“The addition of Brown Family Vineyards wines provides us with an even stronger Marlborough portfolio, perfectly complementing the existing brands that we already distribute from that region.
“We look forward to working with Brown Family Vineyards and building their portfolio of brands in all channels in the marketplace.” For further information please contact:
