Brilliant and intense yellow whit golden hints. Characterful wine, reminiscent of exotic fruit and nuts on the nose; soft and persistent on the palate, with hints of spice, length and elegance.

Makes an excellent partner to complex dishes, even with strong flavour sparticularly risottos such as porcini, or celery, squash and almond, salt codand other fish including salmon, scallops and crab.

94 points	Aromas of tropical fruit, white spring flower and white stone fruit come to the forefront along with whiffs of aromatic herb. On the savory, enveloping palate, tangy acidity accompanies pineapple, yellow apple, lemon drop and baking spice before a hazelnut finish.
	Wine Spectator
93 points	A rich white in a sleek, medium-bodied frame. Shows a lightly toasty overtone, with accents of grilled nut and vanilla, and a core of tightly-knit ripe melon, jasmine, baked pineapple, and ground ginger and star anise spice notes. It's fresh and harmonious, but the detailed flavor range should unfurl more fully with short-term aging or decanting. Best from 2022 through 2028. 4,583 cases made, 150 cases imported.

96 points	Hints of honey, hay and marzipan on the nose. Rich broad palate with oily, gentle texture and a chalky acidity. Honey flows into the finish.
	James Suckling
95 points	Aromas of chamomile, dried pineapple, preserved lemon, toasted almond and beeswax. It’s medium-to full-bodied with tangy acidity. So concentrated, layered and phenolic. Keeps going. Yet, it remains agile and vivid. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
