Twelve Giants Merlot Paper Bottle 2022

How's this for a conversation starter? Seriously delicious new Merlot in an eye-catching bottle made from ... recycled paper. Yes, really.Called Twelve Giants – an ode to the legend of Don Quixote and the famous 12 windmills of Castile – this new red will soon have guests talking. Pick up the bottle and the first thing everyone will notice is how little it weighs – because there's no glass involved. No glass means a six-times lower carbon footprint and as the UK's Daily Telegraph noted, the “featherlight bottle” makes it perfect for “bringing to picnics and festivals and on hikes or train journeys”. Just as exciting is the sensational wine inside. 100% smooth, plummy Merlot from the red soils of the Castro family’s vineyards in Castile, it’s deep ruby in colour, with ripe plum and gentle spice flavours. A “drink me now” wine that’s as at home with tapas as it is Friday night pizza.
