2023 Brecon Last Sandwich (New Release)

The memorable name is a doff of the caving helmet to some impressive discoveries made in Ogof (Welsh for cave) Draenen that our founding winemaker was involved in. Apparently, they were quite literally sitting down to munch on their last sandwich, when they spied an unseen way on. Ironically, this blend came about in much the same way. He had tried blending both this particular rich, oily, Viognier, and crisp, refreshing, Albarino every which way with other varietals but finally hit upon blending them together while fighting over the last chicken tikka panini. Which, as you might expect, paired delightfully well.
