The latest vintage of the 'Boot Full' Grenache is now available, after the 2021 sold out in record time!
For us, the namesake of this wine is a tribute to one of our overseas adventures in a trusty little French car that we picked up for next to nothing. You get what you pay for; it was about as powerful as a ride on lawn mower. We had a lot of adventures in that little beast, a few mishaps too! For many months it carted us around to vineyards, beaches, mountains and the snow of mainland Europe and the UK, with a boot full of wine and not much else...priorities!
Ooh, tell me more about the wine...
'Boot Full' Grenache is one that we are beyond excited about.
