Don’t miss this one!🍷

27/10/2024

Remember our cleanskin tasting a few weeks ago, where we asked you to vote for your favourite? The Shiraz was the clear winner, and when we floated the idea for one of you to provide the tasting notes for the label, Janet took the opportunity!

“A delightful, refreshing and reliable Shiraz for every occasion. This is a full bodied and balanced wine with a hint of blackcurrant to enhance its mid-palate complex flavour.
It’s like visiting an old friend and feels like no time has passed.”

Pick up a bottle next time you’re in the store, and let us know if you agree🍷
