BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Pale lemon. Nose is pristinely clean, with sweet white fruit, lemon and confectionary. Super zesty, lean, tight, and focused. Fine, stony, mineral expression. Lightweight, yet an intense and elegant palate, with heaps of succulent fruit. Superb quality fruit and beautifully balanced dosage. Simply invigorating in its razor-sharpness. A palate cleanser. 19

Andrew Jefford: Deep green-gold. Earthy, planty, sappy, and fresh: enticing aromas. Rich, tangy; plenty of dosage here, but a long, vinous follow-through helps carry and support the wine. Developed fruit, ample ripeness, but at the same time plenty of sap and leafy freshness: very complete and attractive. The wine dries and finds some mineral resource on the finish. Exuberant and characterful, if unsubtle. 14.5

Tom Stevenson: Rich, a touch oxidative; a very tight and linear line of yeast-complexed fruit to the finish. 15.5
