2018 Schwarz Wine Co Grenache Shiraz Mataro

2017 Yelland & Papps Vin de Soif
Two’s company, three’s a crowd. As it turns out, this phrase has been around for hundreds of years. Thankfully, it doesn’t relate to wine because, the number three in this ‘crowd’, if you like, is about 5% Carignan which perfectly … Continue reading
