This is a really cracking wine for the money (inexpensive by restaurant standards at \u00a330), and it&#8217;s beautifully packaged.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMAG0913.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4777\" title=\"IMAG0913\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMAG0913.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMAG0913.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMAG0913-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMAG0913-150x95.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/IMAG0913-400x253.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The subtly green glass brings out the fresh, green colour of the wine. The label is clear and elegant, but has a novel twist. If you pull away (using an indicated tab) the back label, with all the legal information, it reveals a picture of the vineyard.
