Rathbone Wine Group (RWG) – whose portfolio includes Yering Station, Mount Langi Ghiran and Xanadu – will join Oatley Fine Wine Merchants (OFWM) for eastern seaboard distribution from May 1.
“We are thrilled to be joining the OFWM team,” says RWG chairman Doug Rathbone.
“We have no doubt that they will not only maintain but continue to identify new customers in their impressive network of both on and o-trade clientele.
“Our two family businesses have shared values, focusing on iconic regions and brands of the highest echelon.
“I also want to acknowledge and thank our current distributor, The Wine Co., for their custodianship, support and representation of our brands over the last five years.”
OFWM chairman Sandy Oatley said, “RWG’s Yering Station, Mount Langi Ghiran and Xanadu are three of Australia’s most noted wine producers.
“To have them join our portfolio makes us immensely proud.
“They will be an ideal complement to our already impressive portfolio of award-winning wineries.
“It will be an absolute pleasure for our team to represent these outstanding wines on the eastern seaboard and to share them with our valued customers.”
RWG is led by Darren Rathbone (CEO and group winemaker), Doug Rathbone (chairman) and Brad Rathbone (export director).
The family are closely involved in running the day-to-day business operations.
