Oriel is a completely different kind of wine company that is driven by four crucial guarantees:
Absolute quality
Oriel wines are made by two dozen of the world's most celebrated winemakers who have made some of the greatest wines on earth—from Petrus to Penfold's Grange—they are truly excited about bringing great handmade wines to market at great prices under the Oriel label.
Vintage quality
Oriel only makes wines in good vintages and skips poor vintages altogether. Unlike traditional wineries, Oriel has no obligation to make wines in poor vintages so we don't—simple! This means we have absolute confidence in every bottle—guaranteed.
Regional character
Oriel wines are handmade in miniscule quantities to express the nuances of each vineyard. We limit each Oriel wine to a few hundred cases because making great wine is like making great food—to make a little with the very best ingredients is possible, to make a lot is not.
Superior value
By acting as vintner, importer and wholesaler, Oriel cuts out the middlemen to reduce prices. Wine prices are affected by overheads and middlemen more than by grapes and winemaking. By sharing overheads across dozens of wines and cutting out the middlemen Oriel can sell a $25 bottle for $15, or a $45 bottle for $25.
We are delighted that Oriel wines have been chosen by hundreds of America's top restaurants and retailers and have earned acclaim from Robert M. Parker Jr., Food & Wine, The New York Times, Wine Spectator, Bloomberg and many more...
Oriel—Someday all wines will be made like this!
