Legend has it that a farmer once befriended a dragon to guard his crops from poachers. The dragon's presence scared off thieves, protecting the harvest. When the dragon died, the farmer planted a vine over its body, which grew into a flourishing vineyard. Today, the spirit of the dragon inspires Snap Dragon wines, renowned for their exceptional quality and value. These wines, ideal for enjoying alone or paired with food, carry the legacy of the mythical dragon, offering a unique and memorable experience in every bottle.
