Curious, fun blend as well-described below, although not as magically complex as all the text might imply. At its best, the nose combined a light (not too pungent) floral element with rainwater, honey, seashells, and vanilla, deftly combining the grape varieties, but at other times a bit of vodka came through although thankfully not on the palate, presumably due to temperature variance if not oxidation over 2 days. The herbal aspect of the finish has a tannic yet refreshing quality. Most of the bottle gets an 89 but I'm not sure I'd buy this again even though I like the style it seems to be shooting for.

Fun stuff, drank with my wife and Ma and Lebanese Taverna. This blend of Viognier, Vermentino and Chardonnay shows fun waxy and honeycomb elements, dried apricot and mango slices, banana peel. I also get some sea shell, limestone and mineral notes. Some acid, but not a ton. Some interesting herbal tones on the finish.

Great value white. Buy more. Simple but refined. This went quickly.

180 NOK. Smakt på foredrag med produsent på vin-messe. Tre og buskas, litt lakk. Særegen

very nice - more complex than I expected -- quite drinkable
