The wine offers a combination of intense floral aromas, ripe fruit and a refreshingly juicy palate. Packaged in a recycled PET bottle as a part of our sustainability initiatives.

PET is short for polyethylene terephthalate, a strong, lightweight plastic which has been used to package food and drink since the 1970s. We are using rPET which means 100% of the bottle material (excluding cap and label) comes from recycled plastic. rPET bottles have a significantly lower carbon footprint than single-use glass bottles; they’re less energy-intensive to make, smaller and less breakable than glass so can be packed more tightly, and of course significantly lighter (63g compared to an average of 460g for glass bottles).
rPET is a stable and inert material, in the same was as glass. The bottles we’re using are fully certified by the EFSA (Europe) and FSDA (USA), meaning they’ve passed the most rigorous testing available to be classified as ‘food contact approved’, and all rPET is BPA-free. We recommend members enjoy their wine in rPET within the first six months after purchase.
These bottles can be easily recycled at home – just screw on the cap and put the bottle into your normal recycling bin for collection.
