“Classy white wine here of distinct varietal character and regional charm. An energetic and frisky white wine of tension and torsion. Lots of lime juice, jasmine tea, grapefruit pith and pulpy green apple characters. It's energetic, lightly chalky, shows good concentration and freshness overall. 95pts. Great Value.” (Mike Bennie, The Halliday Wine Companion). Sam Kim Wine Orbit finds it: “Superbly harmonious and refined with a sustained, engaging finish. Offering outstanding fruit purity and poise. 96pts”
