Sevenoaks Wines is a boutique wine distribution company in Singapore whose focus is on providing premium quality wines. Sevenoaks Wines vineyard is located in the Hunter Valley where by parcels of distinctive, high quality wines from small vine plantings can be intensively cared for.

With the wine industry going “global” many large wine producers are producing greater and greater volumes of varietal and regional blends that are increasingly homogeneous and un-differentiated in taste. Our approach is to manage each area within the vineyard according to individual need and to produce sympathetic, distinctive wines styles in small parcels and in so doing offer our clients different, interesting and enjoyable experiences.

The first of our wines, our 2000 Rows 1 to 26 Shiraz, was released in Singapore in November 2002. In Australia, it has won 5 show medals to date in addition to receiving favourable reviews from acclaimed wine critic James Halliday. For further details please visit the wine page.
