Wonderful Chard, enough freshness and citrusy nuances to make me happy. Sensible use of oak is a good thing too. Like!

Fresh apple and lemoncurd notes on the palate, whiff of oriental spice and only a faint tropical nuance. Is that some rocky minerality in the back? Savvy use of oak.
Very reliable label and this year is their best to date.
For all you dutchies over here: great qpr when those “wilde-wijn-dagen” are on again..!

Very delicate fresh and complex palate. Subtle hints of white and tropical fruit, vanilla and oak. Friendly acidity and bitterness make it easy to drink. Very enjoyable wine but also interesting complexity, unique combination.
