The Indigo Wine Group was formed in 2002, as a partnership between Robertson Winery from South Africa, and Richard Gupta, a wine importer living in Venice, Florida.

Initially, their objective was to introduce one of South Africa’s largest wineries, Robertson Winery to distributors in the United States. Basing the company in Venice, Florida, they utilized the services of a beverage logistics company in order to keep their focus on sales and marketing and commenced setting up a distributor network.

In 2007, Johann Meissenheimer relocated from South Africa to join the Indigo Wine Group as Sales Director.
