Awards and Reviews

98 points James Suckling 

This is an exotic dry white with dried mango and pineapple and some slate throughout. Full-bodied with dense, rich fruit and saltiness, which, together with extremely energetic acidity, really drive the finish. Drink now or hold. (12/2019)

95 points Wine Spectator

White peach and lemon peel notes mingle out front in this slightly exotic and very seductive white. A flash of shortbread caresses the finish, allowing white ginger and yellow apple notes to glide in for added range and length. Everything ripples, with finely beaded acidity. Beautiful and distinctive. (JM, Web-2019)

17.5/20 points Jancis Robinson MW

Strongly aromatic, really singing with herbs, peach and apricot – it's more like Rhône than Loire. It's powerful but balanced, with the acid working well too. Rich and indulgent, with length and breadth and every dimension. (RH) (6/2022)
