Maghani 2012

£27.99

Wow! This is a different wine and the flagship wine from Mr. Valette. Like all his wines it is a pure, certified biodynamic wine for which even the production methods (listed below) are very different. This is an unusual wine that will take you to a completely new wine experience. It is ready for drinking but will also lay down for 20, possibly more years. Not really for an aperitif, this wine needs to be balanced with food to really enjoy it. I am a strong convert to Mr. Valette’s wine and if you are interested in an exceptional quality, unusual wine, this is for you. Definitely for the adventurous and not for the faint-hearted. Try his other wines as well, they are all incredible value for the price.
