The 'P&R' Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the founding pillars of TOPE. From long afternoon lunches to sharing a glass after a successful day at work, Tom & Pete were fascinated by this noble variety and the how it was shape by it where it was grown, the wide range of ways it is handled in a winery and its unmistakable variety richness.
