Australian & New Zealand Wines

Australia has more than 60 designated wine regions, offering a diversity of grapes and wines to rival global producers and ensuring quality wines are available at every possible price point. It is a country blessed with an enormous diversity of soils, allowing for vast offering of varietals in all seasons. 

Australia boasts landmark wines of a distinct pedigree, elegance and longevity which cannot be duplicated. This reputation will undoubtedly grow as Australian innovation in winemaking reaches new frontiers. 

Accounting for just 5% of the total world wine production, Australia is currently the fourth largest exporter by volume behind the traditional wine producing giants of Italy, France and Spain.

CAC Trading Group has access to both bulk and packaged wine products from the various wine regions throughout Australia. Thanks to its close, long-standing relationships with major Australian producers, CAC Trading Group is able to create boutique wines and ranges to suit individual and high-volume commercial requirements. 

Wineries in the local area include: Fosters Limited (Southcorp, Rosemount, Beringer Blass), McWigeon Wines, BRL Hardy Limited, Zilzie Wines, Trentham Estate, Deakin Estate Wines and Evans & Tate. Specialist wine producers marketed and distributed by the company include Jasmine Wines, Sunview Wines and Lyrup Wine Company. 

CAC Trading Group is one of very few companies able to coordinate the creation of custom-made wines specific to a client’s target market. This includes access to a vast design network skilled in graphic design, bottle design, printing, and packaging. CAC Trading Group provides its clients an all-purpose market ready solution. 

Flexibility allows clients to select the amount of customised product they require – from single bottles to high volume shipments. And specialising in both domestic and export transport logistics, CAC Trading Group ensures a client’s product is produced and transported from its winery to a given destination port in a quality and timely fashion. 

CAC Trading Group has access to large quantities of generic premium wine and can offer an exporting solution with complete quality assurance. Bulk wine contained in 24,000-litre bladders can be exported to any Australian Wine and Brandy Corp-approved bottling facility in the world. This means clients can access the commercial benefit of generic wine customised to bespoke specifications.

CAC Trading Group has the ability to co-ordinate and contract wine grapes directly from their sources, thanks to associations with larger family and corporate owned vineyards. This, in large volume orders, allows for a reduction in overall wine cost while ensuring supply is maintained in both quality and quantity. 

To achieve the lowest base cost CAC Trading Group provides the service of analysis of a given vineyard’s operational and financial performance, with the view of the property being ultimately purchased by the customer. CAC Trading Group then contracts the vineyard management operation to one of its specialist farm management groups. The aim is to control the whole wine making process, achieving the lowest cost per litre possible for the customer.
