Reviews

 

Primary fruit on the nose is driven by notable hints of strawberry and rose petal. Quite muscular but refreshing and very much alive. Sweet fruit, smooth tannins and purity make this rare variety worth a try. ~ 93pts, Decanter. Tasted blind by Oz Clarke & Andy Howard, MW. Part of the 75 most exciting wines of 2017 panel tasting.
