RATINGS

98James Suckling

So energetic and wicked, in a good way, with a subtle start to the palate. Then it takes off on the finish. Sliced dried-apple, green-pear and crushed-stone notes. So minerally and levitated at the finish. Great finish. Explosive.

96The Wine Advocate

...scents of fresh pineapple, lime blossoms, orange peel and lemon curd with hints of yuzu zest, wet pebbles, struck flint and kumquat. Medium-bodied, the palate absolutely sings of vibrant citrus fruits and mineral accents, sporting a very lively line of freshness, finishing with great length...

96Vinous / IWC

...enticing mélange of bright Sauvignon Blanc notes and textural depth, all with the energy that is such a signature of the Blanc. Citrus, orchard fruit, white flowers and crushed rocks are all laced together, but it is the wine's superb balance that stands out most.

96Jeb Dunnuck

...rocking bouquet of white grapefruit, crushed citrus, salty minerality, and hints of mint. Rich, medium-bodied, ultra-fresh yet with terrific fruit...

95Wine Spectator

Very lively, featuring a juicy, mouthfilling mix of peach, nectarine and tangerine notes, laced with a singed orange peel thread. Exotic yet pure flavors are married to electric energy.

92Wine Enthusiast

Beautifully perfumed, this wine has ripe yellow fruits as well as a greener herbal character.

17+ Jancis Robinson

Fairly neutral and savoury on the nose. Lemon curd. Fleshy, tropical and powerful on the palate. There is a juicy drive and intensity, matched by subtle and savoury oak spice. This is subtle and well balanced. Long, enduring and silky finish.
