About us
velvet is a wine importer, wholesaler and retailer in Hong Kong.
From all around France, we personally focus our sourcing on small top quality artisan producers with interesting tales and special relationship with their vineyard. We do not choose our wines according to brand awareness or media marketing; neither do we buy according to points or ratings (though some of our wines are highly rated). We follow our passion for wines that show a place, a soil, an area, a terroir with true character and honesty.
Here are some principles we support/believe in when it comes to wine making and farming:
- Hand harvesting
- Wild yeasts
- Low yields
- Organic farming
- Biodynamic agriculture
- Rational sulfiting
The result is an eclectic selection, full of unique experiences and discoveries to suit any opportunity.
We want to share our knowledge and enthusiasm for the wines that we love, in a way that makes the customer included. We want the customer to feel as connected as possible to the producers.
Because relationships are important to us.
