Domaine Saint Hilaire

Beautifully pale pink, fruity but crisp aperitif or summer food accompaniment

A blend of Grenache (65%) and Syrah (35%), this fruity but crisp drinking wine is like sunshine in a glass. A perfect aperitif, it also goes well with salads, barbecues and other summer meals. Will keep for up to 3 years, but best drinking fruity and fresh.
