Halewood Wines & Spirits has secured a deal to distribute French wine brand Bonfils in the UK.
Available now to the on-trade and independent specialist retailers via Halewood, the Bonfils portfolio comprises a selection of varieties from the Languedoc-Roussillon region.
The deal with the family-owned winery would “further bolster” Halewood’s wine portfolio, which has grown to cover wines from around Europe and across the New World, said director of wine, Andrew Turner.
“Bonfils’ wines represent the renowned appellations of the south of France that are popular with customers, as well as championing lesser known wines that the trade will now have the opportunity to discover and enjoy,” he said.
The distribution gain meant the number of wines offered by Halewood and its agencies had more than doubled in 2017, he added.
Founded in 1870, the Bonfils estate has 17 winemaking properties, a constellation of Châteaux and Domaines, totalling more than 1,600 hectares of vines.
