Fellow Box – May22 Edition
110.00€
Another month, more great Portuguese wines. With the warm weather beginning to peek, the lighter and fresher wines also start to be the most desired. So, we bring you a very fresh white and two more elegant reds. The remaining wines, although more full-bodied, maintain the good acidity that characterizes our taste and our commitment to our customers.
All this means that there are no excuses not to become one of us, one of the Fellows.
Enjoy.
