About Us
We are a truly independent and traditional wine merchant that sells wines from across the globe but specialize in Bordeaux and bottle-aged Grand Cru Classé whilst aiming for the most reasonably priced wines in any London retail shop. We are based in the heart of Kensington, just south of Notting Hill Gate and predominantly look after private individuals who simply share our interest and love of good, great and exciting wines.
Aside of Bordeaux we have wines from across the globe with prices starting at £7.50 but becoming truly interesting around £10-15. Another key aim is to stock vintages with a good bit of bottle age. Such as 1989, 1990 & 1995 Bordeaux; 1999 & 2002 Burgundy; 1998 Rhône; 1994 Spanish; 1997 Italian and so on. Even in the everyday category we try to stock wines with a bit of age and often sell them for a similar price to those who stock the “current” vintage.
The shop, though small, is not cluttered and overwhelming like many others. You can take your time, stand back or even take a seat and look at the wines without being surrounded on all sides. The wine posters are original early 20th Century as are most of the fittings.
Many people know the name Tuggy Meyer better than the name Huntsworth wine itself. 108 Kensington Church street was originally a small family-owned antiques shop run by Tuggy and his mother. Tuggy started The Huntsworth Wine Company back in 1990 whilst selling wine from the small office in the back of the shop. In 2004, the shop underwent a massive re-design, changed names, and the current incarnation of the Huntsworth Wine Company was born. To contact Tuggy Meyer email tuggy@huntsworthwine.co.uk
