🍷 Business Spotlight: Nick’s Wine 🍇
Nestled in the heart of York’s stunning Avon Valley, Nick’s Wine has been producing quality local wine since 2005. Using traditional Italian methods he learnt growing up, Nick handcrafts his signature Shiraz Tempranillo blend, a smooth and subtle drop that captures the character of the region.
You’ll find Nick’s Wine available at the vineyard on Ulster Road or at local liquor outlets in York and Northam.
📷Earlier this year, Nick hosted a relaxed harvest breakfast at the vineyard, a beautiful morning of good food, good company and a toast to local produce. 🥂🌿
