Just Grapes' Wines
The philosophy behind our wines is simple: buy from small family owned producers where wine making is not only a job but a passion. We like to meet the wine maker and discuss his ideas behind his wines and hear his opinion about where he feels they would suit the Irish market best. The wines may not be big brand names or appear on supermarket shelves but we try to keep our wines interesting, unique and reasonably priced.
Our Growers:
France
The Bertrand family in the Languedoc region in the South of France, who try to express their wines through the climate and soil of the region or as the French say ‘Terrior’. Each member of the family specialises in different aspects of wine making from growing the grapes to blending the wine.
We have selected the Syrah/Shiraz and Sauvignon Blanc which we felt reflect their ‘Terrior’ and our customers needs.

Chile
One hundred and sixty miles from Santiago, in the hills of the Maule Valley where the climate is perfect for grape growing, the Esturillo & Gillmore Family located their vineyards. It’s an area where sustainable and sensitive growing practices are employed, in all aspects of wine making. We have chosen four of their wines which suit the Irish Market.
