“Brilliant pale lemon; scents of stone fruit and honey, bright and zesty with a saline edge.”

A pale straw gold. Lovely notes of cherry and dried herbs. Full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. Highly recommended.

Lovely scents of stone fruit and honey. Concentrated fruit balanced by fine tannin. Outstanding value for the price.

Brilliant pale lemon. Lovely a nose of citrus and white flowers. Rounded, generous and supple. A benchmark for the region.

Nora Cellar 🏆 Expert 2024-09-11

Brilliant pale lemon. Lovely mineral and saline on the nose. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. The finish is long and savoury. Lovely alongside aged hard cheese. A solid, dependable choice.

Inky violet core. Lovely a nose of citrus and white flowers. Dense and structured, built to age. Lingering notes of spice and dark fruit. Punches well above its weight.

Amber and luminous. Lovely aromas of black fruit and cedar. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. A solid, dependable choice.

Amber and luminous. Lovely notes of cherry and dried herbs. Full-bodied with firm, ripe tannins. It finishes with polished, chalky tannins. Perfect for a festive aperitif. Outstanding value for the price.
