April 5, 2014 - while the style may not suit everyone, with the additional skin contact and unfining, I really enjoyed this for its freshness - racy acidity and a beautiful finish - it has a real intensity of flavour - worked with monkfish and also coped with cheese

August 24, 2012 - Big Bottle Festival (Cellars Hohenort): A particular wine that exudes salty, Fino-like characters that some may find oxidative. There is bruised pear, spice, some herbs and that phenolic tannic grip that adds structure to this orange wine. Enjoyable without blowing me away.
