Vinarchy has officially assumed full distribution of its portfolio of wine brands acquired from Pernod Ricard in May including Jacob’s Creek, Stoneleigh, Church Road and Campo Viejo.
The transition marks a major milestone since the completion of the merger of Accolade Wines and Pernod Ricard Winemakers to create Vinarchy earlier this year.
These brands can now be ordered directly through Vinarchy in Australia and New Zealand, following the conclusion of a short transitional distribution arrangement with Pernod Ricard.
The transition is backed by dedicated local teams in both markets, including a newly formed commercial team in New Zealand under general manager Kiri Hyde.
Andrew Clarke, managing director, Australia and Zealand at Vinarchy, said the change strengthens the company’s leadership position in wine and long-term commitment to growing the category.
“This is a major milestone for Vinarchy, enabling us to work even more closely with our trade partners across our portfolio of incredible brands,” Clarke said.
“We are excited to be able to deliver an even stronger wine focus and offer for our customers and consumers and look forward to working together to grow the wine category.”
Vinarchy will continue to partner with Hancocks in New Zealand to distribute and represent the legacy Accolade portfolio of brands including Grant Burge, Mud House and Jam Shed.
In other markets around the world, Vinarchy has partnered with leading local distributors to ensure continuity and growth of these brands.
