2023 Rude Nora

Six degrees of separation is how we connect any two people on the planet. But with three degrees of separation, i.e. an ex-friend of a true friend of a friend, everyone should know a Nora, and a rude one at that. But seriously, the name derives from the most essential bit of kit any self-respecting underground explorer must have: their light. Rude Nora lamps are the light of choice for European international cave explorers. Many remote discoveries have been made with Rude Noras, including some by our founding winemaker (who regularly uses one in our cellar, by the way). They are very, very bright, well made, super robust, monkey-proof, and built to last a long, long time. Not unlike this particular in-your-face Cabernet/Petite Sirah-based blend. Like many a Brecon blend, it also rolls off the tongue particularly well.
