Spanish wine imports to New Zealand by Red Bridge Wine Co began in 2012 with the help of (his now very good friend) Carlos Soto; a winemaker throughout Spain for over 30 years This was the start of what is now a large range of wines from all regions across Spain that is imported by Red Bridge to New Zealand.
Following further trips to Spain , AJ added a number of new wines to his portfolio in 2016.
2017 saw the introduction of 3 more producers – Chivite, Enate, & Maset – all of whom have high reputations in both Spain and around the world.
New in 2021 (after 3 years of preparation) were the fantastic white and red blends from Catalan regions Priorat, Montsant and Terra Alta made by Coca I Fito, Clos 93 and Cellar de Capcanes.
2023 sees a new era for Red Bridge with 9 new wineries and a large number of new wines with an emphasis on Tempranillo, Albarino and other high end wines from Spain’s northern regions of Rias Baixas, Rioja Alavesa, Ribera del Duero and Navarra.
Red Bridge now has a very extensive portfolio of fine wine from all areas of Spain.
