Medium lemon in colour with aromas of citrus, blossoms & honey. Flavour is bold lemon, green fruit, minerality, floral, slight oak & high acidity. The finish is long & this wine is a good representation of Chenin Blanc & a good value for the price point. Paired very nicely with Haddock & cheese risotto.

Even now, this was surprisingly fresh - with a slick lemon streak. Terrific aperitif.
Unlike the bitter, sweaty grapefruit norm, this one carries tropical fruit aromas in a bone - dry style.
The palate hits you with green apple & tangerine pith- this you expect … but develops meadow flowers, honeycomb, & wild grass notes after an hour decant. Very balanced & complex with minimal oak.
Reminds me of a persuasive Savennières discovered in a Budapest wine bar years ago – Nicolas Joly, I think. I am giving this a bonus just for the memory…

Wow very nice. Crisp. Well balanced. Ate with chicken thighs and snap pea salad. So good!

PnP at Roger's Arena. Consistent with previous note. Just enjoyed it a little more. Went really well with sushi.
