Crisp and fresh. Akin to its Loire Valley cousins, but with a distinct terroir. Pure throughout.

Cloudy natural wine that had a nice wooly nose to it. Straw, melon, bruised apple. I was a big fan of the balance this had.

Pleasantly funky Chenin Blanc! Lemon and minerals galore. Hints of light oak on the nose and creamy finish. Loads of acidity! Great!
