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.
William runs Long Wines (or he likes to think he does). As well as a producer and marketer of award-winning Spanish wines, he is also a prize-winning long-distance runner and tennis player. He likes long, complicated train journeys and he is an enthusiastic cook. He also enjoys long distance cycling and walking, despite his tendency to get lost.
Marta really runs Long Wines.
She has been with the company since it began and she is in charge of logistics, administration and finance and is familiar with every detail of the business and wine exportation.
So, if ever you have a real problem she’s definitely the one to contact.
She’s also a proud mother of three lovely girls.
Elena runs the wineries. She’s a trained winemaker and works as our product manager, making sure that the wine is of the right quality, that the packaging fits the client and that the wines reach the customers in the right condition. She enjoys travelling, listening to music, sporting activities and spending time with her young son.
Monica runs the flow of information to customers and ensures they are kept well informed about prices and technical information from palette types to sulphite levels. She enters our wines into the world’s most important competitions and keeps track of all the awards we’ve won. Like many of us at Long Wines she is also a keen runner.
As William’s son, Freddie grew up in Spain and has visited wineries since he was tiny. Completely bilingual, he studied International Relations at Sussex and worked in the international music industry before joining Long Wines, where he develops business in key markets and brings his creative flair to new product launches. He enjoys pairing wines and music and is training to outrun William.
