About Roy's
Our aim is for people to find adventure and intrigue in trying new wines.
We believe wine should be accessible, fun and thought-provoking. We are not here to lecture, but instead want to inspire you to bring about more informed choices. Using our experience across the wine and spirits industries, we want to make wine more down to earth and provide you with ample delights for drinking pleasure.
We only sell wines that we enjoy to drink ourselves. We cannot emphasise that enough. Our portfolio consists of a range of natural, organic, biodynamic and sustainable wines. The focal point is indigenous grape varieties, hence our focus on the old world regions of France, Italy and Spain. These are often from producers in lesser-known regions that are native to their country of origin. The wines will be expressive of where they come from and reflect that in their character, smell and taste.
Roy's is also about the wine producers. The people and their stories. We like big personalities, the rulebreakers and the artisan, but also the up and coming, under the radar growers willing to tread on the grass, and those with the potential of becoming the next big thing. Our quantities will be small, and not always easy to get hold of, but we are always on the look out for new wines to add to the portfolio.
Above all else, we are committed to stocking honest, well-made and delicious wines. We want you to enjoy each mouthful and to have curiosity for the next bottle. Wine doesn't have to be pretentious or exclusive for wine snobs. It's not a club reserved for the elite or cranberry trouser brigade (sorry!!), while the obsession with point scoring systems can quite frankly "do one". And as for wine commentators (gulp), they need to stop with the written nonsense. Whatever happened to letting the wine do the talking?!
Remember, the most excellent wine is that which is an empty bottle.
