Acclaim
Spiced baked apples with hints of star anise and dried magnolia waft from the glass of this intriguing white wine. Baked lemons with lemon curd and fresh cream on top give the palate a rich and mouthfilling texture but finish with a crisp bright finish — Wine Enthusiast, Sep 2023
“A toasty white, with a rich range of pear tart, quince paste, toasted almond and lemon meringue flavors, which are well-defined and enlivened by sleek acidity and salty minerality. Medium- to full-bodied, with a long, mouthwatering finish.”
— Wine Spectator, Oct 2023
