More About This Wine

Rhône

Prestige in the north, value in the south: that’s the quick version of the Rhône story.

Typically, New World Shiraz yields bigger, fruitier wines than the the peppery Syrahs...

Flor

Flor is a protective layer of naturally occurring yeast that grows, under certain circumstances, in the barrels after fortification. Its presence (or absence) is what determines the style of a given Sherry.
