Racy, pure, electric fruit and mouthwatering salinity. Lemon, tart yellow apple, peach and pineapple fruit merge beautifully with toasted pine nuts tossed in sea salt. Virtually weightless mid palate that nevertheless caresses the mouth with texture, both slightly waxy and mineral. Finishes with excellent grip and slightly bitter pithiness. Fun and charming, yet complex. This humble cuvée is an outright steal if you can find it.

Such a perfect chenin. Ethereal stone fruits, green apple, and gooseberry on a field of wax and pebbles. A fun little tuffifrutti quality on the finish, too. More exuberant on the second day for whatever reason. Hard to get bored of a wine like this.

Really rather lovely. Off-dry nose, lemon, peach, fascinating waxy-saline accord on the palate followed by an attractive bitter almond finish. Beautiful work.

Honeysuckle on the nose, terrific minerality. Needs food, maybe cheese.
