About CASTANG

is an Independent Family business established in 1979. Currently we operate
throughout the South West England, and with distribution throughout the UK,
together with key accounts in other areas of the country. During the past
29 years, we have steadily increased our portfolio of wines and agencies
by expanding our activities firstly throughout Europe and more recently in
the New World wineries. Our range now exceeds 450 wines. The business has
a wide variety of skills and experience, which allows us to offer a comprehensive
service together with advice to our clients.
The main activity of the company
is the importation and supply of wines to private and corporate clients,
wine merchants, hotels, restaurants, wine bars and Universities.
Products
Since
1979 we have specialised in the supply of wines purchased direct from growers
and estates as well as the more traditional method of purchasing through
negociants. Growers have been visited around the world directly at the vineyards
to assess the quality of wines and to check methods of vinification. Our
regular contacts and long term relationships with the wine makers helps to
ensure high quality and thus avoiding badly made and dishonest wines. We
should be pleased to help our clients with their plans to visit any of our
suppliers. I feel that our list represents not only genuine value for money
but also provides a selection of new, interesting, and unusual wines.
Over the years we have placed much emphasis on the selection of top quality country and house wines; and so with many good wine makers around the world combined with modern vinification techniques, it never ceases to amaze us how many anonymous, acidic and overpriced poor quality wines are still passed off as House wines. Caveat Emptor - BUYERS BEWARE!!!
'It is of far more importance to select your wine merchant than to select your wine, for a merchant with a reputation to lose will never give you bad advice'
