Welcome to the O’Briens 2025 Trade Portfolio For over 75 years the team at O’Briens Wine has proudly served retail customers through our network of stores across the country. In that time we have developed deep relationships with some of the most interesting & innovative wineries across the world – they are our partners, over 180 small family businesses that we represent to bring the best wines to Irish customers. In recent years we have started to develop a trade presence, working with a selection of customers in the fine and casual dining sectors and supplying handpicked wines that have caught the imagination of diners, Sommeliers and chefs alike. We now plan to extend that service. Through this exclusive selection of wines handpicked by our buyer Lynne Coyle Master of Wine we believe we present an unrivalled selection of wines that will help any wine list come alive. All our wines are exclusive to us and our team know these wines intimately, who makes them, how they taste and what food they work best with. We are well aware of the challenges faced by the sector in the past number of years – the effects of the pandemic, Brexit, decreases in tourism and cost of living challenges have all shaped the industry to create an environment where margin and product perception are hugely important and where customers demand more innovative experiences, deeper product knowledge and expert service. The continued emergence of new trends in food and wine such as sustainability, production processes and fair & living wages for producers present challenges but also opportunities for restaurants and bars serving fine food & drinks. It’s our aim to become the best in the market through delivery of superb customer support, training, and list design. We believe every list should be interesting, an adventure that enhances every dining occasion but also, ultimately delivers a great experience for the customer and an assured and consistent margin for the restaurant owner. For our existing customers we are very thankful for your support to date and to our prospective new customers we look forward to welcoming you aboard, serving your business and contributing to your growth, reputation, and profitability.

ARGENTINA Buenos Aires

Famous for the Tango, amazing quality beef and great music, Argentina is also home to one of the most trendy grape varieties on the planet – Malbec. It's not hard to see why Malbec is so popular – bright rich red in colour, ripe plummy fruits with soft and silky tannins can be found in a “drink me now” or “tuck me away for a rainy day” style making it a very desirable and diverse wine. Mendoza is the most well known region underlining the superb quality of the wines from Argentina.

AUSTRALIA Whilst Australia continues to be home to some of the biggest wineries in the world, it is also at the forefront of some of the world's most exciting and innovative developments in grape growing and winemaking.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA MARGARET RIVER

This diversity sets modern Australian wines apart in their individuality and quality. Not only are the traditional international grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Chardonnay available but there also off the beaten track options.

AUSTRIA WEINVIERTEL Vienna

The single most important grape in this beautiful country is Grüner Veltliner, but for years the clever Austrians were keeping the fabulous Grüner for themselves. However, thankfully, since the 1990’s its appeal and fame has spread to all of the trendy wine bars and specialist wine stores worldwide and we are delighted to have Zull as part of our offering. Evidence suggests however that us Celts enjoyed Austrian wine in the past as 5th Century BC Celtic bronze wine flagons have been discovered in Salzburg. Either way today we can all enjoy this delightful wine with or without food - clean crisp and refreshing are the hallmarks of Grüner, but it can also be oaked or un-oaked and some styles are rich concentrated and ripe.

CHILE There are two key geographical features that define the wines of Chile - the Andes mountain range, the longest continental mountain range in the world, and the Pacific Ocean, the largest and deepest Ocean in the world.

MAIPO VALLEY Santiago

These features influence soil, temperature, altitude, wind, mist and rainfall thus ensuring that Chile is extremely multifaceted in terms of which grapes can grow successfully. Because of this terroir diversity, there are well defined wine growing regions within the country that excel in growing specific grapes. Chile therefore is successfully making a wide array of wines that are typically pure, fruit driven examples of all of the international classic grape varieties.

Famille Vincent produces a range of wines with the same care and expertise as those made at the historic Château Fuissé. These wines primarily come from grapes sourced from Mâconnais vineyards owned by members of Antoine Vincent’s family. Known for their remarkable value, Famille Vincent wines are both lovely and approachable for immediate consumption.

Famille Vincent Bourgogne Blanc is a tribute to Jean Jacques Vincent, who managed the family domaine of Château Fuissé for over 40 years. It is a distinctive wine exclusively from the southern part of Burgundy near Mâcon and Pouilly Fuissé. To preserve the fresh fruit characters, 70% of the wine is vinified in stainless steel tanks while the remainder sees about 6 months in oak barrels.

GREECE Wine has been embedded in Greek culture for over 4,000 years and the ancient Greeks pioneered new methods of viticulture and winemaking. Today, there is a drive towards high quality wine with grapes being grown, not only on the Greek mainland but also on the beautiful Greek Islands such as the stunning volcanic island of Santorini.

NEMEA Athens

There are over 300 indigenous grape varieties in Greece to choose from so there is a vast choice available to the innovative teams of winemakers establishing exciting new wineries across the country.

NEW ZEALAND Home of the heroic “All Blacks”, this small country also seriously punches above its weight in wine. Dominated by Marlborough and Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand has taken on the wine world with its exuberant, zesty, exotic take on Sauvignon Blanc now known worldwide. Less well-known but worthy of any wine lovers attention, is Pinot Gris. A fabulous white, which works brilliantly with South East Asian food. Our Premium Pinot Noir from Astrolabe comes with more finesse and subtlety than Central Otago styles, and is exceptional in character.

Sauvignon Blanc

Simon Waghorn's Pinot Gris has to be one of New Zealand's finest: exotic fruit and a myriad of fantastic flavours lead to a long honeyed finish.

An absolute standout from the renowned Astrolabe Winery. Bone-dry, with cool green fruits & a mineral note, it's great with oysters or tempura vegetables.

Many wineries are family-owned and have been in the same family for generations so the same passion, knowledge and experience seen in France can also be experienced in Spain. Innovation is also at the forefront of Spain’s wine agenda both in the vineyard and in the wineries, all of which is focused towards improving overall wine quality, and whilst Spain offers great value it also offers stylish high-end wines that are worth investing in.

Albariño

Albariño

This is a crisp refreshing Albariño with textbook citrus notes and a saline finish – a very versatile food wine. Ireland is a vast consumer of Albarino, with good reason. Due to it's cool climate environs, Albarino is thick skinned, packed with peach & apricot flavours and has a lean bracing acidity. Which makes it a style of balance and precision. Glorious with Shellfish.

A refreshing and lightly textured Albariño with ripe fruit notes, hints of white peach and a lingering salinity. It’s an ideal wine to pair with seafood. The wine is aged in a concrete egg and left on its lees for 8 months, elevating the complexity and mineral character to breathtaking levels.

Diverse in climate, terroir and grape varieties, some of the finest wines in the world can be found in the U.S. Whilst some regions are warm and perfect for making juicy, fruity everyday drinking wines, other regions are growing classic grape varieties in top quality vineyards that produce world class wines. Wineries range from tiny boutique / garage wineries to the large scale. Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are well worth seeking out particularly from the cooler regions where elegance and balance are important components in defining the style of these wines.
