About

Tess Bryant Selections is a wine import and distribution company working with winemakers from Australia, Austria, France and Washington State who share the common goals of working with organic or biodynamically grown grapes, and adding nothing in the winery in terms of yeasts, preservatives or other additives. Since the inception of the portfolio, several winemakers in the portfolio occasionally add a maximum of two grams sulfites at bottling, depending on the vintage and wine, and this remains an ongoing discussion about how to push this number towards zero, with the goal of every bottle in the portfolio being additive free. As of 2024, all wines are additive free.

Tess Bryant Selections was started in 2018 in Oakland, California, and is owned and operated by Tess Bryant.
