BUY THE WINE

Victoria Daskal | A distinctly floral nose, giving way to pear, sweet spice, and toast. Very ripe, juicy citrus and orchard fruit. Almost Bellini-esque due to the pear intensity and faint prickle on the palate. Big and flavorful, if slightly one-dimensional. | 89

Jamie Goode | Very pretty and aromatic, with lively tangerine and lemon fruit. This is pure and fruity, with good acidity but also a hint of sweetness. Lots of detail here, and some apricot richness on the finish. Primary, but with the potential to develop further. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Mid-gold. Mango, pineapple: an attractive tropical fruit spectrum, but you might almost guess this was a Manseng rather than Chenin. Vintage style. Thiol touch also. Vivid, lively, fresh, and engaging on the palate, with a generous style based on that mango and pineapple spectrum. Delicious, exuberant, long. | 92
