Leonardlee Family Vineyards – New Partnership with Schenk Family UK

Leonardslee Family Vineyards is delighted to announce a new distribution partnership with Schenk Family UK. This exciting collaboration which takes place with immediate effect sees Schenk add English wines to its portfolio.

Launched in June 2024, Leonardslee Family Vineyards has already experienced significant success for its wines with several retail listings in the UK and overseas, including Nicolas UK, Qatar Duty Free, DFDS, numerous independent wine shops as well as export to Norway and Singapore.

This new strategic partnership will allow Leonardslee to increase its sales further through the Schenk Family’s extensive capabilities within the on and off-trades. Schenk has entered a new phase of development under MD Helena Martin who took the helm last year and this move into the English wine sector demonstrates the company’s clear desire to keep up this momentum.

Leonardslee Family Vineyards has three vintage English sparkling wines within its range and has already received numerous accolades, including the WineGB Awards trophy for SWGB Best Wine and Leonardslee Family Vineyards has recently been named number 56 in World’s Best Vineyards list of 2025.
Penny Streeter OBE, owner of Leonardslee said: “We are delighted to be working with the Schenk Family, finding the right partner in this industry is key, but they are a family business like us. They have a great team who are passionate about working with wines with a real story and we are confident that they will take Leonardslee Family Vineyards onto great things.”
