At Tasters, we take pride in being importers of Spanish wine in the United States, bringing carefully selected wines from Spain to consumers and restaurants. Our mission is not only to distribute these wines but also to educate and excite our customers about the rich history and culture of Spanish wine.
Our Mission as Importers of Spanish Wine
Since our inception, our mission has been clear: to offer high-quality wines that represent the diversity and tradition of Spain’s wine regions. We work closely with family-owned wineries and independent producers who share our passion for excellence and respect for terroir. As Importers of Spanish Wine, we follow a rigorous selection process to ensure that every wine in our portfolio meets the highest standards of quality.
This Is Us: Our Way of Work
At Importers of Spanish Wine, we believe in building strong relationships with our producers and clients alike. Our approach is rooted in integrity, passion, and a deep appreciation for the craft of winemaking. Our team regularly travels to Spain to visit our partner wineries, ensuring that we are directly involved in the selection and quality control processes. We take pride in our hands-on approach, which allows us to bring the true essence of Spanish wine to our customers in the United States.
Selection of Wines
Our portfolio includes a wide range of wines, from the most iconic to the most exclusive:
- Red Wines: We collaborate with renowned wineries like Marta Maté from Ribera del Duero, whose wines like Los Perejiles are highly appreciated for their depth and complexity. These wines stand out for their ability to express the unique character of Ribera del Duero’s terroir.
- White Wines: We import a variety of white wines that capture the freshness and vibrancy of Spanish grapes. Notably, we work with Bodega Carballal from Rías Baixas, known for their crisp and aromatic Albariño.
- Rosé Wines: Our selection includes the Vergel Rosado from Bodega Pinoso, which stands out for its color similar to those from Provence, France, and its simplicity in drinking, making it perfect for by-the-glass service in restaurants.
- Cava: Our selection of Cavas includes elegant and sophisticated wines, perfect for any celebration. Roxanne Cava Brut is one of our favorites for its fine bubbles and aromatic profile.
- Sherry Wines: Sherry wines, such as those from Bodega Albariza de Torre in Cádiz, are known for their complexity and unique aging process. These wines add a special dimension to our offerings, being ideal for both appetizers and sophisticated pairings.
The Import Process
Importing wines from Spain to the United States is a meticulous process that requires careful planning and execution. As Importers of Spanish Wine, we handle the entire logistical process, ensuring that the wines arrive in perfect condition. Our team works with transport and customs providers to manage the shipping and importation, complying with all necessary regulations and standards.
Relationships with Wineries
A fundamental part of our work is maintaining strong, long-lasting relationships with the wineries we work with. We regularly visit the wineries in Spain to understand their viticulture and winemaking practices firsthand. This close relationship allows us to ensure that every wine we import reflects the producer’s commitment to quality and authenticity.
Supporting Distributors Outside of Florida
Our commitment to supporting our distributors extends beyond just supplying wines. In states outside of Florida, such as Texas or South Caroline we make regular visits to assist in commercial development, provide team training, and identify potential business opportunities. These efforts help ensure that our partners are well-equipped to promote and sell our wines effectively. We also use our network of distributors in these states to offer and develop private label wines to restaurant groups.
Focus in Florida
In Florida, our work focuses on high-end, specialized restaurants. We strive to provide an extensive selection of wines that cater to sophisticated palates, ensuring that our partners have access to top-quality wines for their culinary creations. By working closely with top-tier establishments, we ensure that both our red wines and other varieties find their perfect gastronomic match, enhancing the dining experience for patrons.
Education and Promotion
In addition to importing, we are dedicated to educating our customers about Spanish wines. We organize tasting events, wine pairing dinners, and seminars to share our knowledge and passion for these wines. We believe that an essential part of enjoying wine is understanding its origin and the process that has led it to become what it is.
Innovation and Sustainability
We are committed to innovation and sustainability in the wine industry. We work with wineries that implement sustainable agricultural practices and ecological production methods. Our goal is to support producers who respect the environment and seek to reduce their ecological impact, ensuring that future generations can also enjoy the wonderful wines of Spain.
Testimonials and Recognitions
Our dedication to quality and service has earned us recognition from both customers and industry critics. Wines like Los Perejiles from Marta Maté have received high scores in prestigious publications such as blind tastings from Decanter, or Tim Atkin confirming our commitment to excellence. Additionally, our customers on apps like Vivino have left excellent reviews, highlighting the quality of the wines and the service we provide.
The Future of Tasters
Looking ahead, we are excited to continue expanding our offerings and strengthening our relationships with wineries across Spain. Our mission remains the same: to offer the best Spanish wines to our customers in the United States, while promoting the rich wine tradition of Spain.
