About 20% of the grapes see skin contact which for me adds just the right amount of body and textural interest while preserving freshness. A little nutty, a little tropical, a little mineral, very delicious

I believe bottle is flawed. Strong bandaid Brett character. First white I have ever had with it. Some tropical notes grilled pineapple, guava, while I tried to let it blow off. It never did. Brett city.

A blend of 50% Macabeu, 40% White Grenache and 10% Cartoixa (Xarel-lo), pale lemon with aromas of ripe stone fruits with nutty notes. On the palate flavors of ripe apple, nuts, spice and mineral notes. Medium+ finish ending with creamy character.

Chalk and bright preserved lemon and lime fruit. Nice balance and lovely poise. Ripeish fruit. Almost tangy

Reductive, funky lees aroma, exotic tropical notes of pineapple and mango, and hint of creme brûlée. Quirky, fun, moderately complex.

This was ideal for a Sunday luncheon; rich, textural with just a faint lick of fino - 2013
