Rhône Prestige Case (reds)

As Rhône specialists it makes sense that we offer mixed selections of our range for you to try (see also our 'Rhône Starter Case'). These will change periodically but the idea is to offer several wines from the region which, whilst built using the same blocks (Grenache, Syrah etc) are nonetheless very different. This case will feature Châteauneuf-du-Pape and prestige labels heavily but the aim will be to avoid too many obvious wines. All wines included are ready for current drinking but most should continue to develop well. Special mixed case price £165 - Save around £10 off the list price.
