It was officiated by leaders from Guang Dong Overseas Chinese Bureau and Zhong Shan City together with Mr. Manuel Manzaneque and Mr. Nelson Chow, Chairman of Hong Kong Sommelier Association. Though a new venture, it is still founded on the same basic Onflo Principles – detailed product knowledge, excellent customer relations and quality service to both supplier and end-user. We are proud to introduce a good value-for-the-money boutique wine from Spain and spreading the healthy drinking way through Hong Kong to China.

Manuel Manzaneque, actor director and the theatre producer, has already received, among other awards, The Cinematographical Interpretation Award, and the National Theatre Award. Some years ago he decided to return to his roots, where he discovered the art encapsulated within the word of wines. With his mind set on creating an exclusive wine of the very highest quality, he established his own winery in the Sierra de Alcaraz , a place far aside from the traditional Spanish winemaking trails where he creates, with his sons Sofia and Manuel, soulful wines.
