95pts Decanter - Gold 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards

Radiant strawberries, raspberries and rose petal florals beam and project over the lively freshness of the palate, with a viscous texture and lasting, saline finish. (Gold)

93pts & Editor's Choice Wine Enthusiast

This bright, juicy wine wants to be in your glass. Fragrant aromas of gardenia blossom and honeysuckle open on the nose of the floral beauty that is filled out with toasted almond, brioche, dried hay, cedar and quince. The palate kicks off with tart-lemon-spritzed red apple slice and pear tart flavors that are refreshing and lifted by chalk-dusted acidity on the long finish. Open and serve as an aperitif or use as an elegant palate cleanser between courses.

Winemaker Notes

Pale, steely yellow, with green hues, viscous and very bright. Nose: Grapefruit and pineapple fruit, with kumquat, quince, pear and passion fruit followed by notes of hay, spearmint, and bay. Palate: Full, fresh and unctuous. Marked acidity gives an agreeable combination between sweet quince and pineapple fruit and the freshness of fresh herbs and green apple. Three sensations are enjoyed at the same time: fruit, crisp acidity and saline tones that all make the mouth water. The wine has great length with lingering, fresh, floral, fruity sensations. Ageing: 2 months with lees stirring (bâtonnage) of fine lees in tank.
