Fairtrade Communion Wine
Poterion Fairtrade Communion Wine is now available from a number of suppliers
It is the world’s first Fairtrade Communion Wine that we have created together with one of South Africa’s leading Fairtrade wine estates, Stellar. The wine is made in two styles:
- a deep Red made from the noble Cabernet Sauvignon grape
- a golden Amber made from Muscat grapes
