For over thirty years Gerrard Seel has specialised in sourcing distinctive, hand-crafted wines that truly reflect their origins without costing the earth.
Richard Hales and Roger Barlow founded Gerrard Seel in July 1984, and it remains under their independent ownership to this day. Initially using Roger’s mother’s kitchen as their office and Richard’s grandmother’s garage as their warehouse, the arrival of two desks in their “office” meant that they were promptly served with an eviction notice and they were forced to find premises of their own.
