Les nivieres- which is French for “the nivieres.” Great wine, very dry, with prominent red fruit taste and peppery notes afterward. Try it slightly chilled with cheese.

Great freshness, acidity & tannins. Quite a different grape & unrecognised. Unsung hero!

Delicious with dinner and as a drink on its own. A really delicious peppery after taste that makes you want to drink more.
