Acclaim For This Bottle
“This subtle bottling benefits from a touch of patience, as the light citrus and stone aromas broaden into more nuanced expressions over time. The palate is bright yet restrained, with tightly woven apple, melon rind and citrus flavors, and the underlying earthy edge emerges as the wine warms.” 93 Points - Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast April 2023
