Meet the DUKE, a man whose burning passion is to bottle and serve fine, reasonably priced wines for every occasion.
In a world where wine styles and terminology may be intimidating and complicated for the average person, there is one sophisticated and discreet individual who loves to cut through the confusion.

Wine connoisseurs quake at the sight of his no-nonsense attitude, and the fact that he rarely displays emotion makes the fine-dining community uncomfortable.
The DUKE has been exposed to the finer things in life, yet he disregards creature comforts completely.
His sole objective is to bottle and serve the finest wines at reasonable prices for every occasion.
Good, straightforward, award-winning varietal wines that go well with casual home cooking.
The DUKE invites you on his journey of discovery – join him, it will be an extraordinary affair!
The DUKE range of wines pays homage to the namesake of the town of Wellington, which was established in 1840 and named in honour of Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, renowned soldier, and who defeated Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. As a general, he was famous for his stunning defensive skills, and his battle plans are still studied in military academies today. Wellesley later served twice as British prime minister. He was also renowned for the quality of wine he drank and served with his meals!
“Be discreet in all things, and so render it unnecessary to be mysterious”
– Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington
