| Description: |
Awarded Wine of the Year by Varietal and Gold Medal 'Best Zinfandel in the World' at the 2021 Sommeliers Choice Awards. Awarded Gold Medal at the 2021 London Wine Competition. Originally bred as hunting dogs, these majestic animals are constant companions in my life and have been associated with royalty, warriors and noblemen for centuries. Greek warrior Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) used greyhounds during his military campaigns. One faithful battle, his favourite greyhound Peritas fought a war elephant. Alexander was so impressed at the faithfulness and bravery of Peritas that he ordered a state funeral for his friend, named a city after him and had a statue erected in his honour in the city square. |
