Domaine Drouhin Oregon 2020
The Drouhin family established Maison Joseph Drouhin in
Burgundy in 1880, and just over a century later bought land in
the Dundee Hills of Oregon. Setting an early benchmark for the
Wines of Oregon, and have consistently excelled ever since.

RAR Priorat 2018
From the heart of Spain’s Priorat region, a blend dominated by
the Garnacha grape. The name RAR refers to the initials of the
winemaker Richard Rofes, but also means “rare” in Catalan.
This refers to the winemaking style, which avoids heavily oaked
and extracted wines common to Priorat, in favour of a more
elegant, fresh and fruit driven expression.
