Lovely white for those who want floral and herbal primary palate where the fruits are subtle and complementary. Off dry with nice honey and light hint of orange before a super fun grassy flourish of a finish and a hint of oiliness. Good mineral and body feel. Not much sweetness and med acidity. Fun and atypical. I’ll be back.

Very nice expression of chenin. Kiwi, star fruit, and banana peel dominate followed by sugar snap peas and horse radish. Great acidity and mouthfeel. Develops a lot in the glass.

Very nice balance of condensed fruit and pleasant earth tones. Appreciate aromas of apricot jelly, starfruit, and banana peel with hints of wasabi, green peas, and wool. Drinking nicely now, but could age for a few more years to lower the amount of fruit tones, but wouldn't want the acidity to fall off.
