Where to get Audrey Wilkinson Philippines wines
As of September 2021, Audrey Wilkinson wines are up for grabs locally via Audrey Wilkinson Philippines. It’s the official distributor of wines from Australia’s Hunter Valley region in the town of Pokolbin, whose wine heritage dates back almost 200 years.
“The area is a thriving wine-growing region thanks to mountains that encircle three sides of the valley, the cloud cover, and afternoon easterly sea breezes, which help mitigate the blazing sunshine during summer and keep humidity moderated on the valley floor,” Audrey Wilkinson says on its Philippine website.
“Soil types vary from rich red volcanic soil from the long-extinct volcano of Mount View and sandy loam, which benefits the grapes to exhibit more complexity, delicacy, and fruit-driven characters,” it adds. The local store is headquartered in San Francisco Del Monte, Quezon City. But customers can get theirs by ordering online.

Other wine selections include Chardonnay 2018, Verdelho 2018, and Tempranillo 2018, which you can buy from just ₱799 to ₱849. Take note of the changes in their suggested retail price or SRPs moving forward. To order, visit Audrey Wilkinson’s official Philippine website. As of writing, they only accept PayPal payments.
