Final Girl Wines is an homage to the last woman standing in all your favorite movies from Laurie Strode from Halloween to Sidney Prescott from Scream.

From 13 years old Anna was bit by the winemaking bug, while Peter gained his foray into the American wine world from one of their first dates in Figi.

heir project celebrates strong women, experimentation in wine, with a nod to all things macabre. In addition, to the difference between Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere winemaking.
