LANGTON’S JOINS
THE LUXURY NETWORK AUSTRALIA
Langton’s is Australia’s leading
fine wine specialist. Founded
in 1988 as the country’s first
(and then only) wine auction house,
Langton’s today also offers an online
store and a private customer
wine brokerage service.
Their Classification of Australian
Wine, which first appeared in 1990,
is known worldwide as an authoritative
– and, importantly, independent
- guide to Australia’s finest and
most collectable wines.
In addition to their long-entrenched
presence in the Australian domestic
market, Langton’s leads the country
in access to the best of Burgundy,
Bordeaux, Piedmont and more of
the wine world’s finest. They are
68
able to advise on and procure those
rare and hard-to-find bottles that
elude all but the most connected
retailers and consumers.
‘Trust is the key’, says General Manager
Jeremy Parham. ‘We connect
an enormous, world-wide community
of buyers and sellers.
‘Our customers are all at various
stages on the wine journey. Some
know exactly what they want, and
just want to make sure they get it.
Others are up for new discoveries
and want advice from someone who
takes the time to get to know their
tastes and preferences - which is
exactly what a Langton’s wine broker
does.’
2018 saw Langton’s celebrate their
30th anniversary, with events around
the country attended by wine lovers,
media, and industry insiders alike.
The level of international interest has
also changed since the early years:
Classification VII is the first edition
available in Chinese as well as English.
Langton’s are now, more than
ever, in a position to offer bespoke,
intimate, inimitable experiences to
clients and partners alike.
Parham again: ‘Our buyers travel
extensively and we have a succession
of wine industry figures from
France, Italy, Spain and the Americas
- as well as Australia and New
Zealand - coming here to host tastings
for us on an almost daily basis.’
