It’s a little chilly again, so Rachel and Josephone will be pouring delicious cups of mulled wine (Glühwein) to keep as all warm this Friday.
A customer favourite, our Glühwein has all the extra spices and flavours built in - couldn’t be easier, just heat and enjoy!
Pictured: a more traditional serving suggestion, with all the extra bits. Not necessary for us as all that extra flavour is included in the bottle, but doesn’t it look pretty?
The 2020-21 Shiraz. It’s our Pick of the Week!
Fragrant aromas of red berries, pepper and spiced vanilla. Juicy plum and raspberry fill the palate, carried to a fresh finish by soft tannins.
