Well at just a smidge over $14 this really surprised to the upside. Characterful w/ mouthcoating loads of pulverized rocky minerality combined w/ somewhat tart citrus and stone fruits. My gut feeling is this will be more enjoyable on nights 2 & 3. A little nervy on night one but impressive none the less. I'll grab more of these soon. Blind, would guess Loire Sauvignon Blanc. A little bracing out of the gate. I'll decant the next btl. 89+

Intensiv fruchtige Nase. Erinnert an Gaumen an Grünen Veltliner, allerdings mit mehr Frucht, mehr Säure und weniger Heu. Das Heu ist aber deutlich da. Für mich einen Touch zu sauer. Die Säure wird aber durch den Blauschimmelkäse sehr gut aufgefangen. Am nächsten Tag noch etwas besser - er hat von der strengen Säure verloren, die Frucht passt schon zum Blauschimmelkäse mit Rosinen.
The last vintage I tried was 2018, which I quite liked.
2021 is consistent with 2018, juicy palate with white peach, lemon, minerals and some green herbs. Lovely crowd pleaser Lugana, though I like its big brother - Brolettino - a bit better, which provides due to barrique maturation more complex and tropical notes.
This bottle had a 92p Falstaff sticker on it.

An easy going white perfection: ripe citrus fruit and honeysuckle on both the nose and the palate. Simple, yet incredibly pure and quite simply delicious. Can’t recommend enough.

A different kind of white with a peach tinged nose. Interesting approach in the mouth and it has some layers and complexity, though not alot. Good acid. Clean lingering finish. Overall would buy again as qpr is quite good.

N...faint, no intensity, tropical fruit. Zero else.
C.....pale straw
T.....interesting limestone mineral profile; ripe yellow/white stone fruit; simple but classy well-made white wine, medium-dry on the scale. Previous vintages have impressed me more, I think.
VFMoney?.....feels worth it's £14.95 price. Will buy again.

Sauber, frisch, fruchtig, easy drinking. Simpel und reintönig. Wird sich nicht verbessern. 13 Prozent laut Eikett. 88 bis 90 Punkte. Bis circa Sommer 2023 zu trinken.

Светло-соломенный цвет. В аромате цветы, медовая дыня, персик, апельсин, чуть сыр. Во вкусе среднее тело, фруктовое, кислотность выше среднего, минеральное. 89/100

Exuberant grapefruit palate, mineral, lacks the cattiness of sauvignon and all the better for it.

Hints of white peach and honeydew melon. Vibrant acidity. Very good indeed!

Stone fruit and citrus on the nose, slightly grassy. Reminiscent of Sauv Blanc. Moderate acidity, more stone fruit on the palate. Great summer wine.
