Accolades

JancisRobinson.com 'Floral-citrus scented, bergamot and yuzu, Cox apple and almond blossom, lanolin and frangipani. High-impact salty acidity soothed into the creamy canvas of Pinot Blanc, like thousands of tiny diamonds ironed into rich white linen. The wine seems to unfurl in the mouth like the sails of a clipper, giving it a kind of glorious power and pride. And yet, despite the broad-stroke grandeur, it is so very detailed.' (TC) 17.5 points

Jamie Goode wineanorak.com 'Beautifully expressive with nice apple and lemon notes, with a bit of grapey richness. Mandarin and pear, too. Has brightness but also richness. There’s a delicacy here with lovely tension. 93/100
