About The ENYE Group
(pronunciation of the Spanish letter “ñ” in English)

The ENYE Group was founded in 2007 and is based in Chicago, Illinois. If you’re having trouble pronouncing our name, think back to your high school Spanish class. “ENYE” is the written-out phonic pronunciation of the Spanish letter “ñ” in English. In Spain, the letter “ñ” is synonymous with all things Spanish: from gastronomy, to art and culture. It is a state of mind as well as a state of being.

The ENYE Group through its Imports entity holds a Federal Basic Importers Permit for Wine, as well as an Illinois Distributors License through its Distribution entity. Our partners have deep seated family and professional roots in Spain. We firmly believe that Spain is a rising international gastronomic star and that Spanish wine is finally getting the recognition it deserves in the US market vis-à-vis more traditional export markets such as France or Italy. As the consumer continues to discover the amazing value for quality inherent in quality Spanish wines, the market will continue to expand.

The ENYE Group sources directly through wineries, traveling to Spain multiple times per year to taste and select only the best wines for the markets we serve. We leverage our language abilities as well as our intimate knowledge of cultural and business practices in Spain to create true partnerships with our vendors. Our sommelier personally tastes and selects each of the wines in our portfolio. We strive for representation of a wide range of appellations, styles (modern vs. traditional) and varietals. The end result is a well balanced portfolio of fabulous wines that have not previously been present in the Illinois market.
