SF | Pale green gold, bright and lively. A nose which recalls Riesling for a change; kerosene and linseed oil. On the palate there is verbena, pickled lemon and a hint of something savoury; salty charcuterie and hints of lemongrass. Stony but textured; layers of interest, which seem to grow in the glass, all, as usual preserved by the safety net of a granitic acidity. 93
AJ | Bright gold and ultra-limpid, after a couple of hazy wines. Clean, fresh, lemony, a touch of resin, some woodland moss: very classical here. A little heaviness descends after some time in glass. Intense and concentrated on the palate, with bright lemon and quince fruit and some of the aromas noted when smelling the glass. A firm and serious white with some weight and tenacity.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2029. 88
RM | pale-mid lemon yellow, fresh citrus-fruit driven aromas with a touch of oak and apple blossom; similarly fresh and fruit driven on the palate with a touch of savoury oak and a light, delicate coxes apple finish.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2027. 86
