Holy smokes this is awesome. A laser beam of green fruit and acid and I love it! Definitely a bit of the petrol thing going. Craving southeast Asian food now. Give me a bottle of this and some spicy pork dumplings and I’m set.

Powerful yet super refined. Distinct from Alsace and Germany. A unique Pinot blanc.

Pours a striking pale gold color. Should flesh out in a few years. Will only get better and better

Elegant and bone dry, beautiful minerality and purity.

Flint smoke, tons of minerals, Bartlett pear, honeysuckle. Tones of texture. Creamy, but followed by razor sharp acid. A treat.

Beginning to see some nice development, but lacks acidity to keep it moving forward. Tasty but tired.
