£1295Add to BasketThis crisp, fruity Zibibbo shows lifted notes of succulent white peach combined with soft floral aromatics of orange blossom and jasmine. Elegant and perfumed with a long, zesty citrus finish.

They are then harvested into 20-kilogram containers, to prevent the grapes from being prematurely crushed.
