Tasting notes:
Pale straw with green hues. White nectarine, peach and pink grapefruit lift out of the glass, perfectly complimented with a smokey gun flint edge and savoury almond meal notes. The palate is bursting with juicy yellow nectarine, pink grapefruit and Tahitian lime and a touch of praline, that delivers precision and tension from the tip of your tongue to the back of your palate. The mouth watering mineral acidity, created by the summer sea breezes blowing through our vineyards, captures an element of saltiness and a spring water liveliness, which leaves you wondering where the bottle went.

95 points Huon Hooke therealreview.com
Bright light-mid yellow with a strong smoky sulfide bouquet; struck flinty almost to the point of eletrical fire. These aired off with time in the glass revealing more grapefruit. The wine is intense, compact and bracing with lively acidity and fresh, crisp, cool-grown grapefruit flavours, the finish long and tensioned. A very impressive young charodnnay which is doing the full Coche-Dury act but has the intensity and acidity to make it work. 01 MAY 2024 Drink 2024–2031
