I founded The Ravensvale Group in March 1998. As an Australian I wanted to share my family’s passion for Australian wines with wine drinkers in the US. I visited the US on several occasions in the mid 1990’s and found that the only Australian wines available were either lower end wines and although few and far between some very expensive wines. I felt that there was a golden opportunity to fill the void between the two, so early 1998 I packed my bags and headed for New York.

Now, over ten years later The Ravensvale Group Portfolio is exciting and diverse, with over 60 different wines from 14 of the premium wine growing regions of Australia. All the wines in the portfolio are from well established wineries with excellent reputations for quality and value. These wines are predominantly hand-crafted limited production estate grown wines. The Ravensvale Group currently sells its wines into over 40 states.

In 2006 I made a strategic decision to start importing Spanish wines. My love affair with Spain and everything Spanish began when I was a little girl. I was only eighteen months old when my parents took me to Spain for the first time. I can't say I remember but my mother tells me I had a good time. The story gets better...my parents used my baby basket with me in it to smuggle a dozen bottles of Spanish wine back to England where we were living at the time. I became an infant wine smuggler at the ripe old age of one. Fortunately we were not caught. That was in the 1960's. Fast forward to 2007 and the time has come to fulfill my dream of importing Spanish wines. We now carry over 40 different Spanish wines.

The brands imported from Australia by The Ravensvale Group are Alkoomi, Bong Bong, Bremerton, Butting Heads, Centennial, Cheeky Chick, Cooper Burns, Jinks Creek, Leconfield, Matilda Plains, Richard Hamilton, Shottesbrooke, Syan, SYN, 3 Bridges and Ulithorne. The brands imported from Spain by The Ravensvale Group are A2O, Amador Garcia, Abelis Carthago, Familia Oliveda, Fulget, Gabarda, Hemar, Llanum, Hacienda del Carche, La Perla del Priorat, Oriol Rossell, Penagudo, Trascampanas, Vacceos and Vina Albares.

Cheers!
