The maison
A house built on
the modern trade route.
Glenmore Carnegie moves allocation-grade bottles between three worlds: the estates of Italy, the cellars and dining rooms of the Emirates, and the fast-rising fine wine culture of China.
As exclusive agent for the estates we represent, we work through licensed importers and government-approved distributors, so every placement is above board. No grey market. No big-brand queue. No compromise.

The journey In development
Source to table,
provable.
We are building a provenance and authenticity system, run on our own secure servers, that follows every bottle from the winery to its final buyer - so buyers in Hong Kong and mainland China can commit with confidence.
-
Sealed at origin
A tamper-evident seal applied at the winery, so any interference is visible long before the bottle is opened.
-
Logged at every hand
A custody record that follows the wine from the winery, through bonded storage, transit and customs, to the final buyer.
-
Proven at the table
A tap of the phone will confirm origin, show any tampering and trace the wine's journey, with the story of the wine, its winery and its region.
