peppercorns from the bush

I am very happy I bought this wine and in time

blackberry and cedar flavours

"A perfumed nose of strawberries

and grapefruit aromas with flinty hint of lanolin notes

Shiraz (35%) and Mourvèdre (10%)

lime-driven wine of lip-smacking appeal – this is another stunning Polish Hill riesling
