Celebrate International Women's Day with these female-made SKUs on Kaddy Marketplace

March 7, 2023

It's International Women's Day this week, so we've put together a showcase of some of the women who are kicking goals in our industry. From distillers to brewers to winemakers, we're celebrating everyone, covering business owners balancing a P&L to those hovering over a vat in their steel caps.

Below you'll find a small selection of the products and brands you can find on Kaddy, where the owner, manager, importer or maker is a woman, with a few very special International Women's Day special releases as well. I'm sure you'll agree it's a pretty impressive collection (and this is just the start). Head over to Kaddy Marketplace to see them and more.

Product: Cinco Sentidos Reserva Malbec 2017

Supplier: Taninos del Sud

From the foothills of the Andes Mountains, the best representation of flavourful multilayered Argentinian wines is selected by expert boutique winemakers.

Intense deep red colour with purple hues. Clean, deep and bright. Delicate aromas of ripe plums and cherries with vanilla and leather notes resulting from its ageing in oak. Flavours of ripe plums repeat on the palate rediscovering the cherries with just a hint of caramel. A deep yet delicate softness makes you think of velvet. Great finish.

Cinco Sentidos is imported by the dynamic Lucila Pagnoni, with her company Tanino del Sud a proud Argentinian wine specialist.

Product: La Gritona Reposado Tequila
Supplier: Bibendum Wine Co.

Made by renowned tequilero Melly Cárdenas, who fashions La Gritona at her small distillery in Valle de Guadalupe in the highlands of Jalisco. One of Mexico's few female master distillers, the fiercely independent Cárdenas-who has 20 years of quality Tequila production under her belt--shares Coronado's love of the exceptional and unconventional and leads a team staffed by only local women.

For a Reposado, La Gritona is light on colour and sweetness-Coronado and Cárdenas want none of the flavours that mask many commercial Reposados like vanilla, chocolate and dulce de leche. Instead, this is packed with delicious, honest and savoury, roasted agave flavour, reminiscent of the old-style 'rested' tequila before the mass market took hold: "It's tequila like our grandparents drank," says Cárdenas.
