Long Wines was set up by William Long and he’s still right at the heart of the business. As a French language student in Bordeaux, William obsessively visited every winery he could find. He then trained in London at Fortnum and Mason’s, selling fine wines to the world’s most colourful clientele. Ever since, he’s done all he can to produce and market Spanish wines that virtually everyone can afford.
William fell in love with Spain and its wines when he won a WSET scholarship to tour Spain, and after working for UK Spanish wine importers, he joined United Wineries in Spain as International Director to create one of the world’s largest wine exporting companies. In 2006 he studied the Advanced Management Programme at Wharton, Philadelphia and set up his own company, Long Wines, to apply New World winemaking and marketing to Spanish wines.
He’s never looked back.
We provide a high quality, personal service to both wineries and clients to guarantee added value and sustainability. Increasingly, we work with trusted wineries to develop our own wine brands to better control quality and costs. We are transparent about everything we do and we’re there at every step of the process, paying as much attention to the state of the harvest as to how each bottle reaches the consumer.

With over 60 separate DOs, Spain has a greater diversity of vine varietals and terroir than almost any other wine producing country. At Long Wines we have intimate knowledge of all of Spain’s best-known wine producing regions as well as others which are new to international markets. From many of these regions we produce our own brands.
We’re also constantly researching new regions and wines and can source wines from anywhere in Spain to suit individual client needs.
We are all passionate about Spanish wine and its diversity. As experts in the field – literally – we strive to connect the global consumer, wherever they are, with the regions and people behind our wines.

Although we think all our wines offer exceptional quality, with such a large range, we can only select a handful to enter the wine competitions each year. Once again, in......
Although we had a few hot weeks in August, this year was a lot more manageable heat-wise than previous years, allowing us to enjoy our garden outside Madrid rather than......
