A bit too cold - muted the nose. Great citrus and white floral notes

The ancient ancestor of Sauvignon Blanc this wine is crisp, with delightful grapefruit notes. Delicious with gnocchi and swordfish. A spicy romesco sauce is a divine pairing as well.

Almost like a cross between a Loire SB and a Gruner. Lots of green herb and vegetal notes with kiwi, lime, and underripe mango. Piercing, mouth watering acid that could be too much for some. Very good.

Wonderful acidity, like a Grüner’s laid back Santa Monica cousin. Put the top down on the convertible and just ride....mineral and herbaceous, sleek and quietly powerful. Strong like a racehorse, beautiful and demanding.

Such an interesting wine! An ancestor to Sauvignon Blanc (I think), this one hangs back on the nose, giving little away. But its flavors are confident and clear. It's got plenty of fruit but nothing like a fruit bomb. And it's not domestic fruit; it's exotic - passion fruit and mango. But the mineral and chemical aspects are phenomenal - bitterness is beautiful.

Belle touche d'agrume. Vin frais avec une belle finale un peu citroné
