Why call a case Nelson?
An inspiration to us all Vice Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson led the British navy to it's greates victory on the waves despite being blind in one eye, having only one arm, being unable to swim and being violently sick when at sea!
This case is all about things that achieve greatness when unexpected. These wines are experimental and wouldn't appear to work but taste absolutely incredible.
