Product
Our wine is a delicious and popular agricultural product and so availability may be limited sometimes. Our website checks stock against our central warehouse system at the time of purchase so is not guaranteed as accurate in all circumstances.
In the event that a product is unavailable after an order is placed, we will contact you to arrange replacement, or another acceptable arrangement for the completion of your order.
