21 STOCKING DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
We invite you to visit Strewn in December for 21 special days of tasting as we dust off an exclusive selection of wines available only at our cellar doors. Strewn is featuring our Chardonnay 2006 Amalgam Terroir. This delightfully creamy, smooth wine is an ‘amalgam’ – assembled from Chardonnay in specially selected French and American oak barrels. Not only is it a personal favourite of winemaker Joe Will but fewer than 30 cases are left. Available at the winery only.
