About this product

Sevenhill's sacramental wine is made in three styles in a similar fortified method to Apera (the official name for sherry in Australia). Sweet Red is a blend of Grenache, Ruby Cabernet and Pedro Ximenez grapes. Sevenhill's sacramental wine is made as naturally as possibly with minimal winemaking intervention in conformity with the requirements of Canon Law.

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE WINE Not only is it strong and sweet but the burn feels as if you have gone to confession and you drink the priests words as the burn symbolizes the forgiveness of sins. You can fit so much catholic guilt in one night i
