Very interesting wine. Not sure if that is good or bad for this one. Deep yellow. Nose starts off toasty and buttery but then has a little sour citrus like lemon. Slight cat piss, dirty and lots of hay. Moderate acidity (5.5/10) and light bodied. Interesting flavors on the palate, besides the sour citrus it has some vegetal notes too. Similar to an orange wine. Very sour short finish, like strong lemons. Drink till 2018.

Funky and different - not sure how I feel. Almost like a sour beer style wine

straight up yum. tried this for the first time a couple months back and my boo grabbed a bottle to crush at a later time. cloudy, light tannins that dry out my mouth and make wanna sip more n more. citrus, yeast, rainbowzz. yummy chenin blanc rose bubs. imagine there's some other grape thrown in but not enough for them to note(?).

Favorite find in a while. A bit tart and funky, which I absolutely love. Hope to see more of this
