2022 Brecon Budgie Smuggler
The Budgie is back! Brecon’s infrequent version of “cross border diplomacy.” This old world genre-busting blend was secretly conceived as far away from the U.N. as possible. (Bondi Beach, the spiritual home of said Budgie Smuggler) by our often less than diplomatic vinomaker. Blending proceeded with representatives from Bordeaux, the Rhone and Northern Spain. Strangely the final Budgie Smuggler would be most at home on the Iberian peninsula as it is more reminiscent of a complex, spicy, cigar box, leathery but elegant Spanish red!
