Dec 29th, 2022Amazing. Tropical but high acidity. Super refreshing and delicious.

Aug 8th, 2022There’s a ripe stone fruit or possibly a papaya note right out of the gate as well as some fresh floral notes. It eludes to an air of springtime. On the palate it’s lush, savory, and briny. Overall it has bright Meyer lemon acidity and a beautiful balance of fruit and salt.
It would have paired perfectly with the oysters I tried to pick up on the way here…
Salmon is an adequate substitute!

Interesting- like a Muscadet aged on its lies. Solid though the vintner apparently gets kudos

Jul 10th, 2020Salty with a touch of lime leaf, melon, and white flower. Very balanced and not as acid driven as you would expect. Long finish. Serious Alvarinho

Apr 25th, 2020Fruity and floral, fresh but a little weighty too. A bit too easy to toss back on the porch... or in front of a cozy fire.

Jan 30th, 2019A white wine for almost everything. Richness from the skin contact, but the austere salinity coupled with delicate floral notes make it a perfect wine for food.
