Half Bottle Selection
Half bottles make such fantastic gifts – they're such sweet little things which can be added to any present to make it that much more exciting.
Perhaps even hide them around the house, for a wine fuelled treasure hunt, or hang them from a (very sturdy) Christmas tree. The opportunities are limitless.
We’ve condensed some of our favourite wines into this smaller format, so you’re still getting the Lea & Sandeman stamp of quality, just in miniature.
