🍷W**E OF THE MONTH AT THE VILLAGE SHOP 🍇
Meet The Black Stump, a full-flavoured Aussie red that has been a bestseller for over two decades. Made for pouring into BIG glasses, it’s an inspired combination of Australia’s flagship grape, Shiraz, featuring the lush, spicy bramble fruit that Aussie w**e fans adore, together with the little-known Durif variety – an inky black grape that gives the w**e richness and depth of flavour.
Its name comes from it being the best you’ll find ‘this side of the black stump’ – the mythical boundary at the edge of the known world. And after tasting it, we’re inclined to agree. Perfect with your Sunday roast, a venison stew or a steak and kidney pie; and currently on offer at the Village Shop, with a £1.50 reduction, at £11.49.
