Lemon lagoon biscuit monster broke the pack with a thin layer of lemon marmalade, a twist of lemon peel to tease the nose. Generous melon and merengue, apple tart, pineapple sorbet, lime, lime pith and sour orange. This is depth! I won’t insult with adgective over-indulgence: powerful.

Nice medium dosage brut with loads of flavor. Mag became lees-y and rich as we approached the finish and it warmed. Mineral and lime interplay was superb. Gorgeous golden Buddha hand zest, pith menagerie, and a tangy white berry. .

This sparkler smells yeasty – like fresh bread. The first couple of swallows had overwhelming minerality. It improved slightly after that. But the finish is sour. This wine barely drinkable, not great. — 5 years ago

Underripe pineapple nose shows lemon zest, steely lime, ethereal jasmine, cool grapefruit, green pear, pea purée. Zesty lemon leaps from the glass and races along the palate, finishes lime and key lime, with a mineral oscillation. Chalky and refreshing simultaneously. Very satisfying dance of exotic starfruit and yellow pear tomato. Ginger and grapefruit build to a crescendo on an refreshingly buoyed, boisterous conclusion.

#sparklingrosé We got a bottle for #primeribnight. The slight scent of strawberries on the nose. The palate has bright berry flavors with a touch of sweetness – despite being a #brut. It's everything you want on a hot day– cold, fizzy, and fun! I want to buy a case! #wycliffwines — 3 years ago

Simple sipper rosé #cava - Dry #brut character, tart strawberry among fine bubbles. No pretense towards complexity but fits the bill perfectly as a hot tub sipper with 100°F water on a 50°F sunny day. — 4 years ago

Heady open of ginger and tea spices, with lemongrass and graham cracker, a touch of sandalwood, passing allspice and flowering lime. Lime pulp roundly, and lemon zest waving, invite tart starfruit and subdued pineapple aspects. Gorgeous gliding finish with a soft and silky landing. Texturally perfect! .

Clean streams in a wood. Lemon zip on chalky lime. Round nose awash in biscuit and lillies. Mineral citrus , nutritional yeast, flinty lime, and marigold. Incredible balance here. .

Pale gold. Interplay of cultured cream and papaya with lemon, golden apple and tea rose follow through. Specks of lime scent swirl, discombobulated in the frozen, underripe pineapple expanse. Toasty frame drops quickly in a lemon and lime juice flume made of sterling silver. Kafir leaves in lightest brine add a minerality that defines the space including a real suggestion of white pepper on the finish. Despite the description, this is not overly racy, instead, relying on its needles and pins to deliver the concentrated citric doses with precision. Finely ground chalk and salt rock it’s high mark. .
