Product Features

- A very moderate and dry summer ensured that the 2015 vintage will go down as one of the best in history. It yielded wines with great intensity, refined structure and beautiful purity. This wine has enticing aromas of blackcurrant, tobacco and tomato leaves that are complemented by a fine, but dense tannin structure.

Dreams are weird
They're like your brain's way of saying: you know what the world really needs? Nonsensical story lines that nobody questions and flying cars.
And even though we know they're absolutely bonkers and possess zero relevance whatsoever, we waste no time telling people all about them.
Sad fact: nobody wants to hear it. There is only one dream worth talking about, and that's Martin Luther King Jr's.
Anyhoo, last night we had a dream where we featured half off tickets to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers live at the Department of Home Affairs. They weren't even performing. They just worked there. Crazy, huh?
