The reds show intense, deep fruit; veiled power with an elegant, sophisticated feminine touch. Eight at the Gate Wines

Some of Australia’s finest on its way to China. Congratulations to Jane Richards and the team at Eight at the Gate Wines with the first load of their stunning wine on its way this week to eager consumers in China. Eight at the Gate is an Australian export success story, and it’s not hard to see why once you try their award winning wine. Grown in the rich terra rossa soils around Wrattonbully on South Australia’s famed Limestone Coast, the Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Chardonnay grapes are prized by many of Australia’s wine producers for inclusion in premium multi-regional blends. This is a great example of what I bang on about all the time. No matter the marketing, brand building, or genius behind the market entry strategy, at the end of the day, it’s about the product. Eight at the Gate wine stands out and demands attention. Whether you’re in China or Australia, do yourself a favour and get your hands on some. You’ll soon find out what all the fuss is about. #chinamarket #marketentry #wine #aussiewine #Australianwine ------------------------------------------- I'm Iain Langridge 毅安 and I use my experience in China to launch and grow premium consumer brands.   Follow or DM me to find out more.
