Intrigue Wines

The strength of the partnership at this winery is in the complimentary mix that they all bring to the table. A winemaker, an accountant, an internet entrepreneur and a business advisor. Some people like to know where the wine comes from. Others like to know who made it or how it will change with time. The foodies want to know what flavours they will find in their glass and how it will pair with a certain dish. We are all intrigued about wine. It’s constantly changing and evolving. That is part of the excitement and allure of winemaking. Go and give it a try.
