Constellation Brands has agreed a deal with Enotria that will see the Majestic-owned business handling distribution for its premium wines in the independent sector.

The new arrangements, announced at Wine Paris, will mean that producers including Robert Mondavi, The Prisoner, Booker Vineyards and To Kalon (whose winemaker Tony Biagi is pictured) switch from Matthew Clark to Enotria.

“This change reflects our ambition to lead in the UK’s higher-end wine space,” says Simon Towns of Constellation Brands.

“By partnering with Enotria, we’re aligning our iconic wine brands with a distributor that not only understands higher-end, but lives and breathes it. This is about ensuring our brands have the platform and partnership they need to thrive.”

Enotria was acquired by Majestic last year and operates as a stand-alone business.
