Nativo – organic at last

Billy & Penny Hughes
have bottled their first certified organic wine

Note in from Billy Hughes this morning:

Yesterday we bottled our first certified Organic Wine.  Finally! After many years of working hard towards it.

It is the Nativo White Blend 2013, with 58% Viognier, 22% Chenin Blanc, 10% Rousanne and 10% Grenache Blanc.

Still a baby, but showing fantastic finesse and elegance.

The Red Blend is being bottled today.
