Distinction Wines, Accolade Wines’ newly established on-premise distribution business, will nationally represent some of Australia, New Zealand and Italy’s premier fine wine brands from July.

Brands include South Australian icons Hardys and Grant Burge Wines, Tasmania’s House of Arras and Bay of Fires, along with Leasingham from the Clare Valley and seminal Western Australian brands, Houghton and Brookland Valley.

The New Zealand and Italian offering includes wines from Kim Crawford, Mud House, Terra Sancta and Canti.

Mark Craig, National Business Manager says he’s thrilled to see the business come to life and confident the offering will be a great step for these world class wines.

“Distinction Wines is made up of a team of passionate, experienced industry professionals who understand the needs of on-premise customers and will proudly represent some of Australia, New Zealand and Italy’s premier wine brands, with a portfolio spanning key premium wine regions from all three markets.

“It’s an exciting time for these world class brands, being part of a standalone and unique offering, as they will now have dedicated focus to grow in the on-premise market and we believe there is tremendous scope to do so,” Craig added.

Distinction Wines will partner with One Source – a full service logistics solution, to help meet the specific needs of the on-premise channel.
