Stuart McCloskey “Inspired by the great Sangiovese & Cabernet Sauvignon blends of the old world and the first super-premium offering under the Coulter label. The perfume soars with exuberance – wonderfully attractive. Sweet spices provide a warming hug to the plush, ripe fruit (black cherry, raspberry, blueberry and pomegranate). Liquorice moves to cedar, to mint and onto violet and rose petal florals. Sage and rosemary provide a lovely backdrop as does the zip from zesty blood orange.

Did you always have a little voice in your head urging you to create your own brand and how did you eventually manage to turn that nagging desire into Coulter Wines? Have there been any disasters that you’re able to look back at and laugh about now?
Chris - I have always wanted my own brand. I started with one Tonne of fruit in 2015 and have slowly built that up to the current levels. Benefits include a broader knowledge of the various components within the industry like package design and the legality’s of producing alcohol just to name a few.
