DURAN IMPORTS, FOUNDED IN 2003 BY JUAN DURAN, BEGAN AS A SMALL SPANISH WINE IMPORT AND DISTRIBUTION COMPANY LOCATED IN ST LOUIS MISSOURI.

WITH A PASSION FOR BOUTIQUE SMALL FAMILY VINEYARDS, EARLY ON JUAN FOCUSED IMPORTING FROM ONLY SPAIN AND ONLY SMALL FAMILY ESTATES FROM SPAIN, THE COUNTRY WHERE HIS FATHER IMMIGRATED FROM AND WHERE ESTABLISHED FAMILY ROOTS STRETCHED BACK FOR MANY GENERATIONS AS LAND OWNERS AND FARMERS.

WHEN DURAN IMPORTS STARTED IMPORTING FROM SPAIN IN 2003, SPAIN WAS CONSIDERED THE LARGEST WINE PRODUCING REGION IN THE WORLD, HOWEVER SPANISH WINE IN AMERICA WAS SCARCE AND HARD TO FIND AND NOT WELL RECOGNIZED BY THE AMERICAN CONSUMERS.

IN A SHORT TIME DURAN IMPORTS QUICKLY BECAME RECOGNIZED AS A PREMIER SPANISH WINE IMPORTER IN THE REGION WHICH EVENTUALLY LED TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF SUCCESS AS A PREMIER NATIONAL SPANISH WINE IMPORTER,

GAINING NATIONAL RECOGNITION WITH WINE CRITICS DURAN IMPORTS ORGANICALLY GREW INTO A NATIONAL IMPORTER ROLE IN AMERICA. DURAN IMPORTS SOON ESTABLISHED A CLIMATE CONTROLLED WAREHOUSE IN NEW JERSEY TO MAXIMIZE LOGISTICAL EFFICIENCY AND MINIMIZE LANDED COST, ULTIMATELY IMPROVING THE FINAL COST FOR THE END COSUMER.

FAST FORWARD TO TODAY AND DURAN IMPORTS HAS GROWN ITS PORTFOLIO OF ESTATES ACROSS EIGHT PRIMARY WINE REGIONS OF THE WORLD AND IS NOW FOCUSED SOLEY ON IMPORTING AT A NATIONAL LEVEL.

DURAN IMPORTS REPRESENTS ONLY HIGH QUALITY, PREMIUM PRODUCTS PRODUCED BY SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZE FAMILY ESTATES, WHERE THEIR PASSION FOR QUALITY AND CARE FROM THE FIELDS TO THE BOTTLE IS PARAMOUNT.
