HELLO!
WE ARE A UK Based IMPORTer believing in small growers of Central & Eastern Europe
Our Roots
Roland Szimeiszter, the man behind Roland Wines, was born and raised in Hungary. Naturally, growing up in a country known for wines of great quality he quickly found his passion. After moving to UK, as he was working his way up the London hospitality scene, he saw that wines from Central and Eastern Europe lacked representation - thus Roland Wines was born. He travels a lot to discover new winemakers, who as a rule of thumb are incredibly humble and hardworking people. In his words “Seeing hard work and diligence in a bottle and knowing that it was all done naturally is always an amazing experience”.
THEir Juice
21 growers. 7 different countries. We believe in winemakers, who stand out within their region by working in an innovative manner following their own instincts but respecting traditions. Our growers favour organic and biodynamic practices and prefer not to intervene in their cellars. They are passionate about making terroir-driven wines to capture the sense of origin. It comes as no surprise that these incredible, natural wines are hand picked by some of the most talented sommeliers around the UK and are enjoyed by wine-lovers in places such as Marcus Wareing, The Moor Hall, Lyle’s and The Wine Society to mention a few.
