Origins Organic Imports, a Miami-based import company dedicated to bringing to market organically grown wines, launches today under its new name, with an expanded portfolio and new website: www.originsorganicimports.com.
Formally known as WISD LLC, the importing arm of Argentina’s Domaine Bousquet, the company now extends beyond Domaine Bousquet and is part of a long-term business strategy from husband-and-wife team Labid Ameri and Anne Bousquet, owners of Domaine Bousquet.
“Our vision is to become the largest importer of organic-fruit wines in the U.S., a source of well-priced, high-quality offerings from around the world, in addition to those from our own property,” says Ameri.
With Origins Organic Imports, Ameri and Bousquet look forward to introducing U.S. consumers to a growing roster of producers that share its founders’ DNA of quality, conscience, and value.
In 2018, Domaine Bousquet sold around 60,000 cases. In 2019, that figure climbed to 112,000 cases (+ 87%). In 2020, Domaine Bousquet recorded sales of 181,000 cases, (+62% over the previous year).
Domaine Bousquet is now the largest organic wine brand from Argentina, Argentina’s second fastest-growing brand of wines, and ranks among the top five organic wine brands sold in the United States.
Driving that success are three main Domaine Bousquet wines: Malbec Premium (+33%), Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (+130%), and Domaine Bousquet Charmat Sparkling White (+87%), joined in 2019 by Domaine Bousquet’s Virgen collection of USDA certified-organic wines (+28%), plus 43,000 cases of the company’s new-to-market 2020-debut Natural Origins box wines.
Bousquet, a former economist, says a long-term strategy is finally bearing fruit. “We started our import company in 2014 and it took five years to build those strong relationships with distributors. Now we are able to offer that benefit to other producers around the world.”
