August 10, 2019 - A year on this gets continues to impress - to the extent that I will mark it up a point.
White flowers and a little minerality on the nose, a full mouthfeel with more of those white flowers, but with citrus aspects as well, which come more to the fore on the finish. Nicely balanced and complex.
And the price has come down a little for me as well! Now only US$25. -

July 12, 2019 - Pleasant wine, predominately Roussanne, a touch weighty, with orange peel and peach. Floral.

July 25, 2018 - 70% rousanne, 20% clairette, 10% grenache blanc
I like this wine very much. As the previous reviewer noted, it's floral, fruity, full of flavour, citrus notes, and yet with a nice moderate acidity and just a touch of minerality. Some complexity to it all, balanced and a nice long finish.
It's the sort of wine that could be paired with a variety of foods or drunk on its own and I can see myself getting quite a few bottles as my "upmarket house white" (US$26 equivalent in Hong Kong). -

May 8, 2018 - Quick trade tasting note - Such and amazingly bright wine especially for rhone blanc, huge florals, bright citrus, hints of tropics, slight spice a lil pith and melon. A real head turner.
