ST PETER'S COLLEGE Red Tradition 2018, AOC Ventoux
Domaine Vintur
Red Tradition 2018, AOC Ventoux
As a result of a gift, the College is delighted to be able to offer for sale to alumni and friends wines made by one of our members, Graham Shore (PPE, 1974-1977).
Graham owns Domaine Vintur, a small vineyard in the Rhône Valley, Appellation Ventoux, which makes award-winning red and white wines. Some years ago he ran an event for the College in which alumni and friends helped choose the blend for the 2013 red vintage. He has now offered the College the opportunity to sell some of this wine to our network with the profits going to our Development Fund.
