Home / How We Work
Our Process
Three steps from request to delivery. Every stage designed to protect the provenance and condition of the wine.
Tell us what you are looking for, or browse our current listings. We source across private European collections, ex-château and ex-domaine stock, and private cellars. No request is too specific — if a wine was made, we can usually find it.
Every wine is inspected at source in Europe before we commit to shipping. Our European partners verify original packaging, fill level, colour, label and capsule integrity, and storage history. We photograph every case before it ships.
We ship directly from Europe to protect provenance. Wines are not transhipped through intermediary warehouses. Full insurance is included and we handle all customs documentation and clearance.
