For those of you who have been to the cellar door you will notice that there are three wines we don’t offer to taste.

On the order form, you will read that the 2010 Chirac, 2019 Pinot Noir and 2019 Maurice are distinguished with the sobriquet NFT.

Depending on the audience, I explain that the initials stand for Not For Tourists..unless the tasters are locals. Then I explain that those same initials indicate the wines are Not For Townies.. and if the audience is barista or barrister infested, I conspiratorially hint that NFT indicates a Non Fungible Token.

Now this always adds a bit of an aura to those already mysterious offerings and enhances the sales heightening FOMO effect. In fact, it’s gotten to the stage that we are thinking of taking exclusive private cellar door bookings where all the wines on the order form are marked NFT as a way of vastly increasing sales. But that would be cruel in these already brutal times.

So, as a last minute Festive Season offer to you, our ever patient Not For Turning audience, please avail yourselves of this freight free NFT festive six pack and warm thanks for being part of Bloodwood during 2025.
