Matthew Clark supports Fairtrade
Matthew Clark has joined forces with Origin Wines to launch a promotion throughout February in support of Fairtrade Fortnight at the end of the month.
Alain Cajeux, winemaker at Fair Horizons, a brand owned by Origin Wines, has created a bespoke series for Matthew Clark.
The initiative aims to help UK pub and bar owners encourage their customers to embrace the Fairtrade movement.
The three-strong range features a Pinotage rosé, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon/Petit Verdot blend.
On-trade outlets will receive 12 bottles of Fair Horizons for the price of 11, accompanied by a selection of free point-of-sale material, from tent cards to a chalkboard and “Sip for South Africa” branded posters.
Martin Allen, UK national account manager for Origin Wines, described the scheme as offering "really great quality wines that do make a difference to peoples lives."
According to the Fairtrade Foundation, sales of Fairtrade goods rose 40% in volume and 60% in revenue last year, with 93% of people now recognising the Fairtrade logo.
Fairtrade Fortnight runs from 28 February until 11 March. To find out more, click here.
