Invivo Wines has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with one of the world’s largest wine producers, Grupo Codorniu UK.
Founded in 1551 and still privately owned by the Raventos family, Codorniu is one of the largest producers of sparkling wine in the world, with annual production of around 60 million bottles, it owns the largest area of vineyards in Spain, with more than 3,000 hectares of vineyards.
Invivo was founded three years ago by school friends Rob Cameron and Tim Lightbourne. Cameron heads up the winemaking while Lightbourne handles marketing.
Lightbourne said:“We look forward to bringing our fresh approach to the UK market, along with producing world class wines, we are a proactive New Zealand winery with strong alignments to various creative industries– which help us to develop some interesting and innovative support campaigns.”
Grupo Codorníu has recently been looking to expand its portfolio of agencies outside Spain– it already owns Argentinian winery Bodega Septima.
Nick Mantella, managing director of Grupo Codorníu UK, said: “Our aim is to broaden our existing portfolio, by building a highly focused, premium quality range of wines from around the world.
“Invivo Wines has built an incredible pedigree of quality in a very short time, and fits perfectly with this strategy.”
The Invivo range of wines will be available from Grupo Codorníu UK from February, including the recently launched ‘Bella by Invivo’, a 9% Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with 30% less alcohol and calories. Other wines in the range include the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Rosé, and Central Otago Pinot Noir.
