No oak, a year on lees, and Malo (my kind of thing) Ripe golden and red apple, roasted pineapple, brown spices, smoke, cultured cream. Great balance. Calcareous soils.

Bit of pineapple and overripe citrus. Touch of RS as well, which worked with chipotle lime chicken.

16.5/20 (91/100) Ароматы экзотических фруктов, спелых яблок и дыни, нота молочных сливок. Тельное с высокой кислотностью, немного спиртуозно. Отличное шардоне!

Special one, can't quite describe the smell; smokey apples and minerals. Complicated taste; minerals and dry apples? Long, dry finish.

17/20 (92/100) Вино с ароматами дыни, спелых яблок, экзотических фруктов и молочных сливок. Тельное с высокой кислотностью, насыщенное во вкусе. Заметно спиртуозное во вкусе, требует охлаждения. Отлично!

Mycket fruktigt vin med väntad jästig touch. Balanserat med mycket rondör. Massa tropisk frukt. Känns stiltypiskt ”nya världen-vitt”, mer sällskapsvin än matvin.

Odd palate... with butter hit that gets over taken by acidity and minerals. Wild yeast is adding complexity. Probably partial malolactic fermentation

Nice and refreshing. A lighter version of a Chardonnay with some subtle butter notes and mineral finish. Pineapple and apple skin dominate spiced up with a little cinnamon and wet stone

Creamy and peachy with subtle acidity. Enjoyable yet missing something special.
