BUY THE WINE

Simon Field | An interesting blend, floral and engagingly fruity, with hints of gum cistus and acacia underwriting complexity. The palate is broad yet with clean definition and a soft, appositely resinous undertow. The clean acidity and somewhat uncompromising attack marry pleasingly; all in all, a fascinating composition. | 88

Andrew Jefford | Pale gold. Complex aromas of flower and grain—and some light oaking here, too? Some unobvious intrigue to draw the drinker in. Complex and secondary on the palate, too: vinous, with bright acidity though not hugely structured. Excellent food wine yet again. | 88

Demetri Walters | Broadly textured but well bolstered by acidic freshness. Plump and ripe, though possessing a really attractive textural grip and delicate citrus seam. An engaging wine that shows a seamless balance and interesting complexity despite its bold styling. | 93
