The former managing director of Stratford Wine Agencies has
launched a new wine agency business, Tarrystone Wine Agencies.
The new venture, which was launched at the Beautiful South
tasting on Wednesday, will focus on bringing small, innovative producers to the UK independent retail and wholesale sector, it said.
"The aim is to offer new and interesting products ensuring outstanding value and a point of difference for customers throughout the UK," md Paul Stratford said.
It has launched with Argentine estate Bodega Marco Zuni, a modern winery in San Rafael in Mendoza which was created by three French winemakers. The portfolio comprises six wines, a cabernet sauvignon 2013, chardonnay 2013, malbec 2012, malbec-bonado 2012, a blend selection 2012, and a rosé.

The new agency business will be based in Cookham, where
Stratford runs independent wine shop, the Old Butcher’s Wine Cellar.
Stratford Wine Agency Ltd entered into administration in
September 2012 citing "eroding margins and cash demands" for its financial struggle, and was bought by FE Barber, parent company of Kingsland Wine &
Spirits and Legacy Wines. The Cookham
headquarters were closed by FE Barber in December 2012 with administrative functions
transferring to FE Barber’s Irlam-based offices.
