We were thrilled to read a recent article with wine expert Ivana Simjanovska on exoticwinetravel.com. Not only is the interview with Simjanovksa, a judge at wine competitions and co-author of two books about Macedonia’s wine, a fascinating overview of everything to do with our country’s wines, but it also contains what was a lovely surprise for us. When asked about her favourite bottles, Ivana lists our Stobi Zilvka 2014 as one of her recent favourites.
We’re always thrilled when people take the time to write lovely things about the wines we wholesale and distribute in the UK, and to say thank you we’ve highlighted some of our favourite reviews and comments below. It really does make our day to read your wonderful feedback, so please keep sharing your thoughts with us!
Hello from sunny Macedonia! While everyone has been off on their holidays we’ve been working hard to ensure that the next Stobi wines are as good as they possibly can be. Unfortunately, as we had to start the harvest very early this year our first step was cancelling everyone’s vacations! Wine is a demanding mistress, and with the hot temperatures there really was no other choice. We'll make it up to everyone later!
Signature Wines is delighted to announce news that some of Stobi’s premium and classic wines have won Gold and Silver at several award ceremonies this year including the Mundus Vini 2017 and Chardonnay du Monde.
We were very interested to read an article in the ever-fascinating Drinks Business about the growing popularity of rosé wines. Entitled ‘Rosé Revolution Gains Momentum’, the article highlights the ever-increasing popularity of rosé around the world. This growth is particularly fuelled by demand for higher end rosés: the article states, for example, that “a decade ago just 0.4 million litres of the wine was exported to the US, and now American consumers are guzzling 11.4 million litres of Provence pink a year.”
Thanks to fears that Britain may decide to leave the EU on 23rd June this year, exchange rates are plummeting. This is bad news for everyone – from bankers to those who just want to go on holiday – but few have grasped just how serious it is for the UK wine trade.
Go big or go home? Not any more, at least in not where the wine industry is concerned. Whereas big businesses used to rule the wholesale market, Signature is proud to be part of the group of small wine importers that are shaking things up.
We are delighted to see 4 of our most popular wines have been given great reviews in the Kensignton Magazine, which you can see here.Selected just in time to be savored as summer starts and coinciding with a plethora of Bank Holidays, all wines are best enjoyed chilled and serve beautifully with many summer dishes, perfect for those that like to dine al fresco.
