Ratings & Reviews

Wine Enthusiast:
"The wine is a bit shy at first, pretty and delicate, whispering subtle charm. As the wine opens aromas of pear, apple and yellow flowers dance ethereally on the nose. Palate is a wisp, fresh and light as a feather. Demure and honest, it foregoes voluptuous texture for purity of fruit and minerality." - Jeff Porter (Dec 2024)

Wine Spectator:
"Fresh and light-bodied, this crisp white offers notes of pear and clementine, with white blossom, stone and spice accents. Garganega, Trebbiano and Pinot Bianco. Drink now." - Alison Napjus (Oct 2024)
