RATINGS

99John Gilman

...complex blend of tart orange, pink grapefruit, blood orange, spring flowers, a beautiful base of salty slate minerality, a touch of petrol and a gentle topnote of wild yeasts...full, pure and again electric with ripe acidity...with a rock solid core, laser-like focus and great cut and grip on the complex, long and utterly seamless finish. This is pure magic.

98James Suckling

Deep and dark in the nose...blessed with ravishing, tart stone-fruit character on the palate that is almost perfectly balanced by the intense mineral acidity. Enormously long and surprisingly charming finish...

97Vinous / IWC

...bittersweetly-perfumed notes fill the nose: grapefruit, white currant, struck flint, violet and iris...dense palate presents a vibrantly tangy welter of citrus with crunchy tart berry and coriander seed, smoky, fusil and otherwise mineral nuances, and striking inner-mouth florality...a mouthwatering, vibratory, dizzyingly complex finish that just won’t quit.

95Wine Spectator

Very minerally and intense, with an impressive array of flavors, showing great cut to the dried apple, lemon-lime and star fruit notes. Dried herbal details show midpalate, leading to a finish that lingers with roasted pineapple and rich, spicy accents. A stunner.

19Jancis Robinson

A rocky minerality carves its way into the palate, fruit covered by stone dust, a cool herbal breeze takes charge of the finish. The big polariser!

95Wine Enthusiast

Savory notes of earth and stone...loads of tangerine, pear and orange blossom notes to be found, too. Dry and moderately full bodied, it offers piercing citrus flavors edged by steel and crushed mineral.

94+ The Wine Advocate

Super clear and flinty...stony and herbal-scented...rich and powerful, pretty intense and persistent Riesling with a long and powerful, very salty and elegant, highly promising finish...lots of power but also finesse and elegance. Promising.

White Wine, Riesling, Grosses Gewächs

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
