Question 1

What does PGI mean on the labels?

Accepted Answer

PGI stands for Protected Geographic Indication. It is a requirement from the EU and allows freedom in terms of the grape variety and production method that can be allowed in the making of the wine. The wines have been submitted for independent post bottling analysis which helps us make a superior wine.

Question 5

What Grape Varieties are used?

Question 6

Why do we use screw tops?
