CAPTION(S): SPICEY Jordana Busby and Chilli Pepper Pete at ChilliFest in Belfast yesterday
I think when you change key players in key positions, it's a big decision and Spicey (Jason Spice) and Nicky (Robinson) did a great job last year but I'm sure the boys coming in will do just as well.
This is a vibrant and lively wine with everything going for it - a floral, spicey and fruity Chilean offering made from the fruits of vines first planted back in 1994.
