What this bottling lacks in depth - it makes up for in freshness and minerality. Outrageous quality at this price point.

Been sitting on this one for a couple of years. Worth the wait! Beautiful off-dry honey notes. Bracing palate. Delicious with glazed ham 🍖

I love everything about this wine. Laser-like acid, great intensity, ethereal balance. Such concentration and length of almost otherworldly varietally-typical notes – as if it was made from citrus and stone from another planet or Oz.

Smells clean & quite dry out of the bottle. Crushed wet stone, melon, fresh sprouts, citrus and a touch of honey. Shows more fruit as it warms, really crisp and refreshing but the lack of petrol is a detracting element for me.
