  We have always enjoyed the red wines from Les Cretes, so took a flier on this when I saw it in the local shop. I believe this is my first time with grape variety as well. This was very enjoyable as a daily drinker for the cellar and great price point. Beautiful floral nose and a nice rounded mouthfeel which also had balancing acidity. Highly quaffable.

  PnP. Greenish yellow pale. Distinct cool aroma, white fruit, slight minerality. Harmonious palate, good acidity and fruit, classy finish. Drink now-onwards

  Floral, with a ton of pear, white pear skin on opening with a soft lemon, lime minerality on the palate...last night.
  Still floral, with a more pronounced citrus character, yellow grapefruit with a bit of lime on the nose; more leaning to barely ripe peach and lime, hint of lemon on palate. Alpine Albarino?

  Urtete lys frukt, floraltoner. Frisk og ren vin med stor finesse og eleganse. Petite arvine er en høykvalitetsdrue som dyrkes mest over grensa i Sveits, i Valais-regionen. Kan her minne om andre italienske hvitvinsdruer, som verdicchio, men fremstår mer aromatisk. Strålende vin

  This is fantastic. Somehow manages to show tropical fruit notes and, at the same time, piercing crispness and minerality. Mountain wines rock.
