BUY THE WINE

Victoria Daskal | Youthful and fresh aromas of pure, concentrated apple and cool lemon-lime. Dry, with a zesty fresh acid tang, and slightly bitter lemon- pith bite. Brisk and refreshing, but it warms up and offers lovely depth on the palate before whisking you along to a crisp finish. | 92

Jamie Goode | Nice weight here. There’s a fresh, spicy, citrus character, as well as slightly richer pear and apple notes. Lovely complexity in a dry style, with lots of interest. | 94

Andrew Jefford | Pale straw-gold. Sappy, doughy scents, with some citrus-pastille freshness. Concentrated and forceful, and with lots of very typical Chenin character (the orchard fruits with the hints of honey and wax) but a little less subtle than some, and just slightly hard on the finish. Good wine nonetheless. | 88
