Bunkers The Box Tempranillo

Product Description

Mean and menacing, ‘The Box’ throws up thick square barrels that suck out over submerged rocky outcrops. In contrast, there is nothing to fear from ‘The Box’ Tempranillo. A warm and generous red with nutty oak flavours, it displays spicy hints of the variety’s Spanish heritage. Olé!
