AWR Wines is a boutique wine distribution company, supplying wines to restaurants, hotels and premium independent retail outlets in NSW and the ACT.

Established in 2008, AWR Wines has created a portfolio of high quality, award winning boutique wineries, providing them with a professional and friendly wine sales, marketing and distribution service.

At AWR Wines, the emphasis is on quality and regionality, offering artisan brands that have their own secure identity.  Each wine reflects what the vineyard can produce; these are not wines that are ‘made to order’ – a refreshing point of difference in a crowded market place.

With over 10 years experience as a winemaker, founder Alex Retief provides a unique perspective in his selection and distribution of wines.  He has taken this passion direct to the sommelier and retailer and has selected a team that have the knowledge and ability to promote and sell wines in a way that enhances the brand, where it is the quality that does the talking rather than an offered discount.

Their exclusive offerings of Champagne and Bordeaux imports are selected to provide a genuine balance to the portfolio, where the focus is on family owned and operated brands.
