BUY THE WINE

Stephen Brook: Heady and floral on the nose, with passing scents of tropical fruits—rather what one would expect from the varietal mix. The Viognier probably explains the fat on the palate, the slight heaviness that fights the acidity of the Petit Manseng, with Chardonnay sitting squatly in the middle ground. It works, in an exotic Southern Rhône way, and would complement mildly spicy Asian dishes. It’s a bit too lurid to claim finesse, but it’s full of fruit and perfectly enjoyable, without being out of balance. Quite long. 88

Andrew Jefford: Light full gold here. Scents of musky apple with some soft lemon and pineapple. An intriguing palate: You notice the (salty) fruits first of all, then the length and depth of the wine. The fruits retain these perfumes well on the palate. With slightly more pristine aromas, this impressive blend (which would work as well as an apéritif as with food) might merit an even higher score. 91

Peter Liem: The floral, grapefruity flavors are appealing on the nose yet slightly unclean on the palate, backed by tart acidity. 78
