Case of 6 ($21.90/bottle)
Six generations of know-how. The Guinabert family at Chateau Villefranche have been tending the vines in their Bordeaux vineyard since the 17th Century. I think that's just enough time to get to know the soil. In fact the Villefranche Chateau is one of the original vineyards in Graves appellation and within the Sauternes region. After centuries of making stunning Sauternes stickys the Henri Guinabert tried is hand a delicious red blend after finding some grapes near the Ciron stream. Henri crafted up a Merlot/ Cabernets blend that delivers supple red berry fruits wrapped with a woody structure. Who said Bordeaux's had to be expensive - you'll find great value in this AOC Graves red wine at just over $20.
Its the magnificent Saddleback... bird yes.. wine yes!
Although its Peregrine's second label this Saddleback (wine) is a stunner picking up Gold at the NZ International Wine Comp.
The magnificent Saddleback (bird) was once on the verge of extinction but thanks to the likes of the Wingspan Trust, DOC and sponsors like Peregrine this magnificent creature is back. The same can't be said for this Saddleback (wine) which is flying out the door. Catch it while you can!
