Dallas, TX – Zamora Company USA, the U.S. subsidiary of family-owned Spanish spirits and wine group Zamora Company, has announced the recipients of its 2025 Distributor Excellence Awards, recognizing outstanding distributor partners for exceptional brand building, execution, and overall business impact across its portfolio.

Zamora Company USA represents a diverse collection of premium wine and spirits brands, including Licor 43, Lolea Spritz, Martin Miller's Gin, Villa Massa, Tequila VOLTEO, Thunder Bitch Canadian Whisky, and Spanish wines Ramón Bilbao, Cruz de Alba, and Mar de Frades.

2025 Distributor Excellence Award winners across five categories were:

  • Mid-Size Market: Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits Nevada
  • Large-Size Market: Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits Florida

Total Business Impact

Recognizing distributor partners who generated the greatest overall volume and business growth for Zamora brands in 2025

"In what was a very challenging year for spirits and wine, Zamora Company USA delivered positive growth across nearly all of our brands, and that success is a direct result of the dedication and execution of our sales team and distributor partners," said Matt Appleby, CEO of Zamora Company USA. "In Nevada, for example, our portfolio grew by 88 percent year over year. In Florida, Mar de Frades wines increased 17 percent, while Ramón Bilbao wines posted 35 percent growth. Results like these only happen when distributor teams are fully engaged and genuinely believe in the brands they sell."

The awards were presented last week during Zamora Company USA's annual national sales meeting in Dallas.
