Acclaim
Fresh aromas of lime leaf, grapefruit and fresh lilies lift from the glass of this pretty wine. It's gentle and vibrant on the palate, with apricot, lemon oil and crushed stones, finishing with crisp acidity. Best Buy — Wine Enthusiast, Sep 2023
“Elegant and floral on the nose, this smells of lemon zest and spring tree blooms. Light nuttiness comes through on the palate, accompanied by sea salt, more citrus rind and a hint of yuzu. Mmedium in body and zinging with acidity, this is super vibrant and nicely layered and lengthy in exuberant fruit flavors, too.” — The New Wine Review, Jul 2023
