Today they own Europe's largest contiguous estate and farm land in Montalcino, Chianti, Bolgheri and Piedmont. Combining a respect for tradition and the environment with state of the art research and working practices they have helped to transform the region’s wines and established Banfi’s reputation in an impressively short period of time. They produce premium wines in Montalcino and beyond with a profound respect for the land and people from which they come. Discover the collection  

Champagne Gosset

Gosset is the oldest wine house in Champagne. It was founded in Aÿ in 1584 by Pierre Gosset an alderman and wine-grower who made mostly red wines. In the 18th century Gosset joined their neighbours and began to produce sparkling wines for the first time. It was at this time that the house adopted the unique antique flask-shaped bottle that is still used today.   Gosset’s wines are characterised by their purity and expressiveness. Grapes (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay) come mainly from premier and grand cru vineyards surrounding Epernay and their winemaking style is characterised by minimal intervention, extended ageing and no malolactic fermentation. Gosset Ranked 4th Best Champagne House (among 50) by the highly acclaimed Revue du Vin de France. Discover the collection

Wakefield Wines

Wakefield is a third generation family wine business and was founded in 1969 by Bill Taylor who was inspired by his love for the red wines of Bordeaux’s Medoc region.

Today Wakefield is headed up by Mitchell Taylor whose philosophy blends an ‘old world’ estate mind set with ‘new world’ winemaking innovation; coupled with an almost fanatical attention to detail and obsession with quality. This results in wines of tremendous quality and style that are made with respect for the company’s family heritage. Wakefield was recently acclaimed as the most Awarded Winery in the World by  The World Association of Wine Writers and Journalists (WAWWJ). Discover the collection
