  • We’re thrilled to welcome Vinchio Vaglio to the Friarwood portfolio! Founded in 1959, this winery tells the story of its deep connection to the Monferrato region, a land known for its steep slopes and challenging terrain. Despite these difficulties, the sun graces the vineyards all day, allowing the grapes to flourish. Vinchio Vaglio’s dedication to their land results in wines of exceptional quality, capturing the essence of this unique landscape. If you're looking for a new Barolo, Barbaresco or Barbera d'Asti - please get in touch

  • Exciting news! We've welcomed several new producers to our portfolio, including Domaine Vincent Bouzereau. The Bouzereau family have been cultivating vines for over 10 generations, with a rich heritage deeply rooted in their vineyards. Vincent Bouzereau continues this tradition through massale selection—a method where pre-phylloxera vine stock is propagated to enhance biodiversity. This meticulous approach is reflected in the depth and character of their wines. Vincent Bouzereau’s winemaking remains traditional, avoiding commercial yeast cultures and enzymes, allowing the natural expression of their exceptional terroir.

  • Did you know we delivered wine on horseback? Founded in 1967 by Peter Bowen, Friarwood began with a bold vision to bring the finest Bordeaux wines to the UK. Starting in Sand's End and delivering wine on horseback, Peter quickly established Friarwood as a leading importer. By securing exclusive partnerships with renowned Bordeaux estates, Friarwood became a trusted supplier for top-tier restaurants and hotels across Britain. Today, we continue to operate from our historic Parsons Green location, where we host private tastings for industry professionals and connoisseurs, celebrating over five decades of fine wine heritage. Discover our rich history on our website.
