POOL Beach Leech Marsanne

If you’re tired of polished whites that play it safe, this is for you. Beach Leech strikes that sweet spot where richness and freshness collide. The flavour profile is lush and generous, but it never loses its edge. You get fruit, funk, texture, savour, all wrapped in something real; something artisanal. Plus it’s vegan and additive-free, giving you something pure and excited to go to dinner.
