Simon Field | An aromatic blend: Spice and litchi recall Gewurztraminer; rose petals and carnations provide adornment. A gentle finish and a structure that succeeds admirably despite the somewhat unusual pairing. | 84

Andrew Jefford | Bright steel-gold. Fresh, clean, and sweet, and a very attractive blend, in that the Chardonnay provides the clean, creamy base line on which the Malvasia can work its aromatic charms: haunting fresh rose and just a hint of musk. A terrific aromatic profile: pure class. It works very well on the palate, too: drinkable and fresh, and with those haunting perfumes there to keep drawing you back. A super blend, brilliantly vinified. Bright acidity keeps it all fresh. | 90

Demetri Walters | Fragrantly grapey and peachy to smell, with hints of rose petal, too. Round, rolling, and very charming. Though quite modest in acidity, there is sufficient tension and balance. Quaffable and food-friendly. | 88
