BUY THE WINE

Victoria Daskal | Slightly muted nose. Dry and brisk palate, withatouch of bitter grip. Ripe tropical fruits make an appearance, but lack precision to really stand out. Pleasant and drinkable but nothing sensational. | 83

Jamie Goode | Fruity, pretty, and expressive. Orange peel, pear, and lemon fruit combine with some fine spiciness and nice acidity. There’s some depth here, but the wine stays very fresh. Stylish. | 92

Andrew Jefford | Clean silver-green. Fresh, light, and lively: elegant spring orchard scents. This is a wine where grassy freshness really does work well in contrast to some of the others: very poised and fine-grained. On the palate, too, this makes a real pitch for belonging: graceful, light, and enchanting, with plenty of fine-leaved freshness and fidelity to the variety’s seam of inspiration. | 88
