BUY THE WINE

Victoria Daskal | Piercing fresh apple, perfumed floral bouquet and lemon juice. Ripe and big on the palate, with a clean acidity that cuts through and tirelessly pulls the flavors through to a tangy finish. | 93

Jamie Goode | This is lovely. There’s some richness to the pear and apple fruit, together with fresh acidity and some spicy citrus. Really nice weight on the palate. Balances richness and freshness well. | 94

Andrew Jefford | Pale mid-gold. Ripe pear and quince fruits in almost candied style, but there’s a freshness, too, to keep it all lively. Apple, orange also. Simple, juicy, fresh, with a more prominent acid profile than many of its peers: tasty and exuberant, yet as typical a Chenin as you might like. Wholly enjoyable. | 90
