Souledra Wine Imports was born in 2021 out of our shared love of food, wine and good company and the desire to share that love with others. After living and working in the wine industry in France, we saw an opportunity to import natural, biodynamic and organic wine produced by underrepresented winemakers in the south of France to the US market. We hope you enjoy these wines that we are honored to introduce into the US market.
Be good, do good and drink well.
Cheers, Jack & Andrew
What's in a name?
Souledra (adj.) - Brûlé par le soleil, desséché par le vent
The meaning and origins of the term “Souledra” is as unique to Provence as the wines in our portfolio. Rooted in the region’s native Occitan language, there is no better adjective to describe Provence than “Souledra”. Translated by 1904 Nobel Prize poet Frédéric Mistral to mean “kissed by the sun and dried by the wind", the term Souledra instantly transports you to a sun-drenched landscape full of vineyards, windswept limestone hills, and the Mediterranean Sea. No better word describes the balance between the mineral rich soils, the winds unique to Provence and the sun, that encourages and helps our winemakers craft their wines with minimal intervention.
