TESTIMONIALS

“Great Domaines is appropriately named: a curated selection of some of the world’s best wine producers. Derek and his team don’t just import and sell wonderful wines, as well as representing some Cape superstars. They also cultivate close relationships with their suppliers and customers. Just as importantly, they are wine lovers who enjoy sharing delicious bottles. South Africa is very fortunate to get allocations of many of these wines. And to have Great Domaines.”

Tim Atkin

“Having dealt with Great Domaines over the years, both on a professional basis with our restaurants, and a personal level with regards to my own collection, I have developed a fantastic, meaningful relationship with them. The levels of professionalism and communication they maintain are impressive and very important to us in the restaurant space. Lastly, the quality of their diverse portfolio speaks for itself - the best of the best with impeccable provenance and perfectly stored.”
