GL was quick to call out how light the 18' Palo Blanco was compared to the 14' Dauvissat La Forest. True, but that's just unfair given how the 14' is possibly the best La Forest ever made. What can I say, it was the only two whites during the occassion, discounting the corked 13' Roulot Tillets. Regardless, I enjoyed this immensely. A master class in minerality. So much so that there's almost no fruit at all (just a touch of lemon). The 18' Palo Blanco is flinty, smokey, salty, iodiney, just whatever you can think of as "mineral" - Pure bottled rock energy!

Refreshing, good minerality. 97RP, a bit optimistic but very good indeed.

A unique and distinctive wine from the genius that is Envinate. Slightly cloudy, mid yellow. Nose features briny rock, sea shells and lemon. Palate mineral driven with Meyer lemon. Long + acid on the finish. Clearly volcanic and “Atlantic”. We loved it!
