BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Brilliant straw. Fairly intense, high-toned nose of citrus fruits, lemongrass, lavender, and crushed stones. Clean palate, firm and dry, with a lively if slightly simple finish. | 90

Andrew Jefford | Pale steel green-gold. Soft, grapey fruits and a little floral charm here. Some grassiness, too. All of these notes come together in a soft, accessible, but relatively straightforward palate. | 84

Michael Palij | This wine shows the complexity of this grape: notes of red apple, pear, melon, and dough are all here, notwithstanding the fact that this is a simple white designed for early consumption. The lively acidity (possibly added) dominates the palate. | 81
