Winemaking
An aurally enticing name that attests to this red wine's origins as a slice of The Prisoner Red Blend. Defined as a slender, sharp piece, the word has an edge and alludes to what’s missing and what’s present. With its closeness to shiver and slither, this sensorially provocative name creeps towards us, but also carries an undercurrent of positivity, a sliver of hope. A name that’s silky on the tongue, befitting a wine with presence on the palate
Aging
