Accolades

Jamie Goode wineanorak.com, Complex aromatics here with lime, lemon and spice showing beautiful detail. The palate is mineral and slightly saline, with a twist of honey, pear and white pepper. Very precise with good acidity. Harmonious. 94/100

Jancis Robinson.com, 'There is something about this wine that reminds me of both dry white vermouth and a delicate fino! Lemon blossom, lemon verbena, lemongrass. Very fragrant. As light and gauzy as muslin blowing in a sunny breeze. But despite the fine sketch of structure, the wine is filled with fruit – pomelo and mirabelle. Fabulous silvery drawstring of bitterness on the finish. (TC) 17 points
