Acclaim
“A juicy, balanced white, with pretty white blossom, spice and graphite notes accenting ripe, moist pear and apple fruit.”
— Wine Spectator, Nov 2022
“Pure, mineral and incisive nose with limey, chalky character to the green-apple and citrus aromas. The palate is fresh and more supple, with a medium-to full-bodied frame to the generous citrus fruit. Zesty finish.”
— James Suckling, Aug 2022
