The Harper’s 30 Under 30 results were announced during this year’s London Wine Fair and everyone here at Mentzendorff was incredibly proud to learn that our own Elise Mather had joined the annual rundown of the top-ranking members of the trade aged under 30 for 2024. The sheer breadth of quality applicants from across the UK, from cities to remote rural corners, truly gets better every year. Now in its third cycle, Harpers 30 Under 30 received over 100 applications making Elise’s rise to the top select few all the more impressive.

 Elise joined Mentzendorff in summer 2020 in peak pandemic and was quickly thrown into the deep end covering the Communications Manager maternity leave role. Since then, she has quickly worked her way up within the Brand Team to the role of Champagne and Sparkling Wine Brand Manager working across Champagne Bollinger, Champagne AYALA and Hambledon Vineyard. She is currently taking her understanding of the fizz category one step further by studying for her Wine Scholar Guild Champagne Masters which started in April this year. All this and still only 26 years old!

Congratulations Elise on this fantastic recognition for a job very well done. We look forward to seeing what she has to come in her future!
