Our Story: Rooted in South America, Inspired to Explore
Founded in 2011, by Lee Evans and his wife Maria — a native of Argentina — Condor Wines was born from a desire to share the best of South America’s wines with the UK. Over the years, we’ve built long-standing relationships across Argentina, Chile and Uruguay — sharing our producers’ wines, their stories and their spirit. We are proud to have our success recognised by the International Wine Challenge: selected as ‘Specialist Merchant of the Year (South America)’ in 2019 and 2022.
A New Chapter — Flight of the Condor
As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, our journey continues with the introduction of Flight of the Condor, a carefully curated New Zealand range that brings a fresh dimension to our portfolio.
New Zealand’s winemaking culture, defined by innovation and respect for the land, mirrors the values that have shaped our South American partnerships. We are excited to share a broader selection of white and lighter styles, while keeping our South American core at the heart of what we do.
Our Values
We pride ourselves on building close, long-term relationships. Whether you work with us as a producer, customer or partner, you can expect us to act with:
- Passion. We share genuine enthusiasm for our regions, their wine and their people.
- Integrity. We lead by example, building long-term relationships based on openness and trust.
- Expertise. We use our experience to offer thoughtful advice and the best possible range for our customers.
- Care. We take responsibility for the well-being of our customers, producers, team and environment.
- Resilience. We adapt quickly, finding the right solutions for every opportunity, no matter the challenge.
- Collaboration. We act as one team, building strong partnerships to deliver shared success.
Looking Ahead
Our story began in South America — and that foundation remains at the heart of who we are.
As we look ahead, we’ll continue to grow with curiosity and care, exploring opportunities that align with our ethos and enhance what we already do best.
Because for us, wine is about connection — between people, places and the stories shared along the way.
