02. Personal Service

Our team combines more than forty years of experience in fine wine.We place strong importance on personal relationships, taking time to understand each client’s aims and how they like to collect. There is no standard approach. We work closely with every client to help meet both short-term aims and longer-term plans.

03. Fine Wine Sourcing

Thanks to long-standing links with leading suppliers around the world, we can secure access to rare wines that are often not available to private collectors. Because we buy directly and work only with trusted partners, our clients benefit from strong pricing and guaranteed provenance.

04. Storage & Provenance

We understand how vital correct storage is for protecting both condition and value. For this reason, we arrange secure, professional storage through a bonded warehouse operated by trusted specialists. We highly recommend LCB, the UK’s leading bonded storage network. All wines are stored in individual client accounts to ensure full ownership and transparency. All wines are insured for their full replacement value to provide reassurance. Proper storage helps preserve the wine, protects provenance, and supports long-term value whether it is intended for drinking or holding.
