Citrus and saline/mineral, a little angular, a little thin and lacking complexity. But hey, there’s a gnome on the bottle!

Honeyed, waxy-but not too much, ripe peach, little funk and bright acidity.

A little on the sweet side for me but enjoyable nonetheless.

Nose - honeysuckle, lemon and slate. Appearance - very clear and clean, straw/hay color. Very surprising to be this so clear for a supposedly natural wine. Not complaining just and observation. Major flavors - lemon and lime and grapefruit. Overall very nice.

Salt water, mineral, citrus and mild peachy notes.
Easy to drink Chenin and indeed, there’s a cute naked gnome on the label!

Very exuberant for a Loire chenin, fruit is bordering on pineapple, lower acidity than I prefer.
