By Andrew Heffernan, CEO of Colonial Trade co:
Times flies, this year we will celebrate our 11th year of doing business successfully in Japan. Colonial Trade will continue to focus on importing world-class wines to Japan.
I believe we now have one of the strongest portfolios of New World wines in Japan. Our suppliers are rising stars in their industries with a focus on quality rather than mass appeal or the “loudness” of the brand. The majority of our suppliers practice dry sustainable farming and many are certified organic.
