  This is the Marks & Spencer label.
  
  approx £10.00
  
  Nothing special here, just well-made acceptable/touch above boring white wine with some flavour, price probably about what it's worth.
  
  Back label promise: ''herbals, crisp, citrus, peach, honeydew.''
  
  in reality.... Colour light gold
  
  N.....some interesting minerals/earthy impressions. Nice.
  
  T.....pithy mineral, citrus, quince, Almonds; tart peaches; nectarines; good+ sound Italian white wine, an reliable party white, nice earthy character in middle; just lacks a bit of power/concentration, which is ok given it's price but is one of the better Gavi I've had at this price (Tesco's Finest is £2 cheaper but not as good as this)
  
  VFM? Ok but no bargain.
