Cuvée Madeleine

Cuvée Madeleine Wine Details
Price: $14.90 per bottle

Description: The Madeleine Angevine vine has the rare attribute of being almost totally "female" which means that, unlike other vines, it is not self-pollinating but must be planted near to other varieties in order to be fruitful.
