  First bottle of this varietal, I found it crisp and refreshing, with bracing acidity and a vein of minerality covered in stone fruit. Lemon is apparent as well, which adds a little complexity.

  Nice lemony with some herbal notes. Like lemonade on a freshly cut lawn.

  Belle longueur, savoureux.

  Peach notes, but with a certain zestiness and bite. Paired with pesto one night (perfect!) and crab cakes the next. Glad I have more.
