Embodying the legend of Sophie Valrose
Embodying the legend of Sophie Valrose
At the turn of the last century, women were often relegated to back-breaking and unpleasant labour in the vineyards, while being paid significantly less than their male counterparts. This best-selling range embodies the legend of Sophie Valrose; symbolising the fight that women undertook to be recognised for their dedication to the wine industry, which would not have flourished without their efforts.
