UNVEILING GLOBALLY REVERED TERROIRS
At Earthly Elegance, we embark on a journey through the world of wine, uncovering unique stories in every bottle. With exclusive distribution rights for esteemed wineries worldwide, we've expanded our portfolio to remarkable heights. Our carefully curated selection encompasses the most revered wine regions, offering a kaleidoscope of flavours and aromas that captivate the senses. These terroirs have been attentively chosen for their distinctive characteristics, each expressing the essence of its land and climate. Let's take you on a journey through these exceptional regions.
OLD WORLD
Old World wine primarily refers to wines crafted in Europe, but it also extends to regions within the Mediterranean basin, including North Africa and the Near East, which have a rich history of winemaking.
Contrary to what the term might imply, "Old World wine" does not denote a single, uniform style. Countries like Austria, France, Georgia, Italy, Portugal, and Spain each produce a diverse array of wines, with significant variation even within their own regions. Instead, the term encapsulates a broader philosophy of viticulture and winemaking, where tradition and the influence of terroir - the unique characteristics imparted by the land - are paramount.
In the Old World, winemaking is often deeply rooted in centuries-old practices, where small-scale producers have crafted wines to be enjoyed as part of daily life. These wines, designed to accompany meals, have given rise to the famous food and wine pairings we know today. Success for these village winemakers historically hinged on the reputation of their wines as reliable "table" wines, whether they were premium offerings or more budget-friendly options.
At Earthly Elegance, our portfolio represents this rich tradition, featuring wines from renowned regions across France, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Portugal, and Switzerland. Each bottle reflects the timeless quality and deep connection to terroir that define Old World winemaking.
NEW WORLD
New World wines are produced outside the traditional wine growing regions of Europe and the Middle East, with notable contributions from countries such as Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States, particularly California. This term highlights the contrast between the "New World" and the "Old World," where the latter boasts a long-established history of wine production rooted in Europe.
New World vineyards are often located in warmer climates compared to Central-Northern Europe, with some major wine regions even situated in irrigated desert areas. As a result, New World grapes typically ripen more fully, leading to wines that are generally more alcoholic and full-bodied. Influential critics like Robert M. Parker, Jr. have shaped the New World style, encouraging a focus on fruitier profiles and the use of new oak. However, there has been a recent shift away from the overly oaky and high-alcohol styles that were characteristic of late 1980s Australian Chardonnays, as winemakers explore cooler vineyards and adopt more refined techniques.
At Earthly Elegance, our portfolio proudly includes a selection of distinguished wines from Chile, Argentina, the USA, South Africa, New Zealand, and Japan. These wines reflect the dynamic and innovative spirit of New World winemaking, offering a diverse range of flavours and styles to meet the evolving preferences of contemporary appeal.
BEYOND WINE ALONE
At Earthly Elegance, our portfolio proudly features an array of distinctive spirits, each reflecting the rich heritage and exceptional quality of their origins. We offer unique UNESCO Heritage Gins from Majorca, one of Spain’s Balearic Islands, and premium Grape Vodkas (Eau De Vie) from the fertile soils of Ukraine - both of which have recently received the highest accolades at the London Spirits Competition, a testament to their superior craftsmanship and excellence.
Additionally, we present Gold-nominated aged Cachaça Rum from Brazil, celebrated for its biodiverse depth and complexity. Driven by our passion for excellence, we are continuously expanding our offerings, with upcoming additions to include select Whiskeys and Brandies, further enriching our portfolio with world-class spirits.
