  81% Sauvignon Blanc, 19% Viognier
  10 months on the lees with periodic bâtonnage, 30% new barriques.
  
  Generous notes of tropical fruits on the nose: ripe peach, mango and hints of honey.
  
  More restrained on the nose, med+ acidity giving a good balance and freshness on the palate. A wine with structure and concentration, would love to revisit in few more years time.

  BYOB dinner NOTK (Rotterdam): Medium+ intensity with ripe gooseberry, grass, white flowers, nutmeg, vanilla. Clearly it has seen some new wood. Medium+ acidity, long finish. 91-92
  
  Although undeniably well made, it is a bit too smooth and polished for my liking.

  What a depth on the nose! There is fruit: pineapple, lemon, green melon and most passion fruit. There is notes of lemongrass, light touch of cheese and mushroom.
  So balanced and beautiful on the palate. High acidity shining on its own: lemon or even lime, lightest touch of menthol and a little mango. Long aftertaste, noble bitterness and such a long finish.
  13/18

  Super Tuscans - Berry Brothers; 6/28/2023-7/28/2023 (St James St, London): Light yellow gold. Lush tropical pineapple nose, stone fruit too. Background acidity, sauvignon balance freshness, complex rounded and long finish. Not heavy, fresh & lifted, dry even though there is a rich sweet fruit. Very good.
