Condor Wines was established by Lee Evans and his Argentine wife Maria in 2011, they saw demand for South American wines increasing in the UK and sought to combine their industry experience with their links to this region.
We are an independent specialist importer of Argentine and Chilean wines for the UK established in 2011 by Lee Evans and his wife Maria, a native of Argentina. Seeing increasing demand for Argentine wines in the UK, and wanting to use our skills and experience gained from working within the industry, we sought to introduce new and interesting wines from Argentina. In early 2013 we sought to offer a wider portfolio and as a result ventured over the Andes into Chile; with much the same view as in Argentina we aim to discover unique producers who are new to the UK market. We sell our wines through regional distributors throughout the UK and currently work with Wine Merchants, Wholesalers, Regional Brewers and some buying groups working in these sectors, but we are always keen to consider new channels. We’ve had much success establishing our wines and developing good relationships with our customers, something recognized at the Harpers Awards where we were finalists in the category of ‘Best New/Emerging Drinks Business
