We are a dynamic wine distributor, importer, and producer based in Sydney, Australia.
From the iconic to the emerging, the Vinous portfolio has been carefully compiled over the last two decades to ensure we are working with producers considered to be
the best of their kind from each region.
Today we have one of the most respected wholesale wine portfolios in Australia.
Vinous began in late 2002 in Sydney when Tim Stock, sommelier at Aria Restaurant at the time, decided to help a few winemaker friends out and wholesale their wines around town. It quickly grew and in 2004 he left the restaurant to pursue Vinous full-time and never looked back. Today Vinous has diversified to include distribution of Australia wines, exclusive importing of prestige imports and various production projects.
Our portfolio of domestic producers is firmly focussed on the fine wine market bringing together benchmark producers from premium regions as well as
emerging talents.
Vinous Imports emerged in 2009 after a long-time dream was finally made a reality with the arrival of our first full container of premium French and Austrian wines. We travel to Europe to meet and taste with the producers we have identified through exhaustive research and only buy direct from the domaines. Our inspiration lies in 'real wines' – wines that are produced in harmony with their environment and speak strongly of where they come from.
Our imported producers are usually vignerons; small family concerns but with an absolute quality focus. They utilise biodynamic, organic and sustainable practices in their vineyards and work with traditional, non-interventionist and natural techniques and philosophies in the winery.
The imported portfolio now covers most of the best-known French regions with select producers in Germany and Austria, and more recently a large selection of traditional natural producers from Georgia.
Our Producers
Hand-selected from around Australia and parts of Europe, our portfolio is as much about the people as their wines.
