This wine is a classic example of a non-supermarket wine we love here at BinEnds. Made with so much more due care and attention, full of flavour, just delicious red wine.

We have struggled to find this anywhere else apart from one UK site where is was £12.95 before selling out. Just £8.99 here... a BinEnd bargain!
