Collection: North and South American Wine

Wine from North and South America spans everything from high-altitude Malbec and Chilean Cabernet to Oregon Pinot Noir and Californian Chardonnay. The range here focuses on expressive wines with freshness, character and regional identity, covering both classic producers and modern low-intervention styles.

Explore More of Our Collection

North and South American wine covers an enormous range of styles, climates and winemaking traditions, from high-altitude Argentine Malbec and Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon to cool-climate Pinot Noir from Oregon and mineral Chardonnay from California. Across both continents, producers benefit from diverse terroirs, modern vineyard practices and the freedom to experiment outside many of the stricter historical frameworks associated with Europe.

South America has become especially known for expressive red wines from Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, alongside increasing interest in cooler-climate whites, volcanic terroirs and indigenous grape varieties. Meanwhile, North America continues to produce world-class wines from regions such as California, Oregon and Washington State, where modern winemaking and regional diversity have helped shape some of the most influential wine styles outside Europe.

Our range focuses on characterful wines from across the Americas, including vibrant everyday drinking bottles, lower-intervention producers and more structured fine wines. Alongside juicy Argentine reds and fresh coastal Chilean whites, the collection also includes Californian Chardonnay, Oregon Pinot Noir and increasingly exciting wines from smaller producers working in lesser-known regions.

Expect everything from bold fruit-forward styles and richer oak-aged wines to fresher cool-climate expressions with bright acidity, mineral tension and more restrained alcohol. Many producers are also placing increasing emphasis on organic farming, minimal intervention and vineyard expression, helping broaden the diversity and individuality of modern American wine.

Whether you're looking for structured Cabernet Sauvignon, volcanic Chilean wine, elegant Pinot Noir or fresh Mediterranean-inspired styles, the Americas remain one of the most dynamic, varied and fast-evolving areas in modern wine.
