Old-established wine supplier Ehrmanns will be showcasing its latest partnerships at its annual portfolio tastings in London and Manchester next week.

New wineries to be exhibited include the highly regarded family-owned Willow Bridge Estate from Western Australia and Frascati's L'Olivella.

Also available for tasting will Ehrmanns' first French wine offers.

Richard Dennis, wine buyer at Ehrmanns, said: "We're dipping our toe into the vast sea that is French wines and expanding our offering with some expressive regional wines from Foncalieu and a distinctive range from Maison Ventenac in Cabardès.

"We want to bring exciting, fairly-priced wines to the table in such an established and crowded market."

The events will feature an independent wine shop zone, designed to emphasise the importance of the independent and regional on-trade to Ehrmanns.
