    Oily, uric aromas of nettle and cactus are at the forefront. This shows reasonable mouthfeel and citric kick, while briny, salty, pyrazinic flavors of citrus fruits finish chalky, salty and sharp.

  • 201386 pts

    Grassy, straw-like aromas offer bits of lime and orange. This is light, juicy and tangy. Flavors of lime, tart apple, grapefruit and kiwi finish with stony minerality and lasting lemon-lime notes.

    Initially this smells perfumed and powdery, like a grande dame preparing to go out for the night. On deeper inspection, it smells grassy and citrusy, then tastes and feels dilute. At best this is a quaffing wine due to minimal character but good acidity.

  • 201185 pts

    Airy smelling, with citrus and grass aromas brewing underneath. Has a wet, simple, refreshing feel and rather intense flavors of lime, tangerine and other citrus fruits. Cuts a direct path.

  • 201085 pts

    Sweaty and sharp on the nose, with punchy, oily, green aromas. The palate is wet and basic in feel, with nettle, grapefruit and passionfruit flavors. Good in terms of core qualities but not all that intense or layered. A basic wine for general consumption.

  • 200986 pts

    Spunky and bright in terms of its aromatics, with musky lime and mineral notes. The palate is both juicy and round, with lemon, lime and piercing, pithy citrus flavors. Citric, sheering and foxy on the finish, and exceedingly cleansing.
