Welcome to Classe Wines, we are your home for the finest wines from France, Portugal
and Spain. Wine is a very personal drink and no two people are likely to see a single
bottle of best wine in the same way. Each of us has a different palate and is affected
by the subtle flavors and aromas of a particularly fine and maybe some of the best
wine. At Classe Wines we aspire to bring you wines that not only showcase the true
soul of the regions where they are made, but are true expression of the passion
of the master winemakers who craft them.
Many of the wines we offer are limited editions produced by smaller wineries that
still believe in making the best wine the old fashioned way, with pride and integrity.
Here you will find a selection of the finest organic, bio dynamic and artesian wines
in the world. Throughout our cellars our selection includes a number of unique superior
quality wines that are often not available anywhere else. Our mission is to find
the more unusual, yet exquisite wines and to be able to bring them to you at affordable
prices.
All of the wines we have to offer are produced by small vineyards rather than the
bigger industrial wineries. We believe that these wines are truly representative
not only of the regions they come from, but of the history associated with these
regions all of which have been producing the best wine for thousands of years. It
is with a joyful heart and a delighted palate we bring this selection of remarkable
wines to you.
Classe Wines is dedicated to stocking our wine cellars with a range of the finest wines available. Our
collection of wines has been hand-picked from smaller family owned vineyards and vineyards that
release limited edition wines. We have found that many of the mass produced wines have less than
desirable characteristics, which are unfortunately a distinct trademark of bulk produced wines. These
are not the varieties of wines that most discerning wine drinkers would wish to stock their wine cellars
with.
Many of the wines in our cellar have been produced from organic grapes and crafted with the utmost
of care from tending the vines and harvesting the grapes, to gently crafting and aging the wines. A
number of the vineyards our selection of wines comes from are now farming their vineyards using bio
dynamic farming method. This means that not only are the grapes grown organically, but even greater
attention is given to every moment in the life of the grape and the production of their wines. Most of
the vineyards also farm in accordance with the phases of the moon and we truly believe this has a direct
impact on the quality of the wines in our cellar. We invite you to sample a selection of these organic and
bio dynamic wines and see how much more intense the aromas and flavors can be as compared to the
standard bulk wines.
Located in the southwestern corner of Europe, Spain has almost 3 million acres of
vineyards currently being cultivated that produce an amazing array of Spanish wines.
Currently Spain has more land devoted to cultivating grapes than any other
country in the world and yet is only number three behind France and Italy when it
comes to production volumes.
With over 400 different grape varietals, the wineries of Spain produce no more
than 20 varieties of best wine. In the past 50 years Spain has begun to produce an astonishing
number of Cru and Grande Cru wines as the quality of both grapes and wines
has improved. Today many of the finest Spanish wines are produced in small wineries
located in the oldest toreros using a blend of old and new techniques.

The wines of Portugal are steeped in many thousands of years of history, the original
grapes vines came from nearby Greece and faraway places such as Cartagena and Phoenicia.
Each of these cultures added their own touches to Portugal wines. During the heyday
of Rome, wines from Portugal were considered to be among the finest in the world
and exported to Rome for the nobles and wealthy to enjoy.

and aromas of a number of best wine varieties. Once known for its port wines, the new
Portuguese wines have far more to offer, and a refreshing new range of tastes for
