Australasian Wine Exporters P/L was set up by Nicholas Gaynor to bring a range of premium Australian wines from small high quality winemakers to the world market.

In the year and a half since its inception the company has expanded its business to include the markets of Singapore, Malaysia, India, Hong Kong and Holland.

It now has an operation in Singapore – Parklands Fine Food and Wines Pte Ltd – which imports and distributes wine in that market. In all other markets we work with distributor partners to bring a selection of our wines appropriate to the markets taste and price point.

Nicholas Gaynor, the Managing Director, who was previously General Manager Asia Pacific for a large American software company, has worked in Austrade New York in the 1980s when Australian wine began taking off in that market. It went from two labels altogether to the second largest market for Australian wine in his time there and led to an ongoing love affair with wine. Together with his sister in law, Sylvia Johnson, the Director of the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival for many years, he put a plan in place in late 2002, which has led to 16 wineries working with the group going into 6 markets in Asia and Europe and with extension plans into another 5 markets in 2004.

Cassandra Liu, The Operations and Marketing Manager, comes from a background in the wine industry. Prior to joining us she was the Cellar Door and Expositions manager for Seville Estate, one of our key suppliers from the Yarra Valley.

Together with our Company in Singapore Parklands Fine Food & Wine Pty Ltd (ph. 65 6491 1178), we look forward to meeting more people interested in wine and turning their general love of wine into an ongoing business affair with the fine wines of Australia.
