Levan Wine Menu 17.03.20

Welcome to the party In honour of our favourite, late disco DJ, Larry Levan, we’ve put together a few wines & drinks in this book that will hopefully take you somewhere near to seventh heaven and back again. Or at least mountain high or river deep. The list features a range of wines which have been made with care and love, the majority by low intervention, organic or biodynamic winemakers who care as much about the environment as what’s in the glass.
