BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Brilliant straw, with golden highlights. A touch closed but complex on the nose, with citrus fruit, grapefruit, lemon curd, lime, and lavender. Lively, salty, complex, citrus-fruits palate, with a long, mineral, clean finish. | 93

Andrew Jefford | Pale bright gold. Attractive, fresh, doughy, and rich, with deftly drawn summer fruits. Aromatically pretty and enticing. Zesty and fresh, with ample blossomy charm: a mouthful of spring flowers and early-season fruits. Served blind, you would never guess that it comes from this low a latitude. Delicious. | 89

Michael Palij | Compact, centered, lifted nose, with some coconut and coffee from barrel maturation, with grassy, citrus notes and a certain edginess allied to high acidity, but on the palate there isn’t much fruit. The finish is simple and short. | 83
