April 17, 2020 - Very pale colour hints at freshness. Pear and lychees with clean minerality and a hint of aromatic oil. Soft, but with good acidity and balance. Has developed more body than the colour suggests. Very good.

September 21, 2019 - Pale yellow, slightly green colour giving away its youth. Fragrant nose with melon, toast and lemon zest. Inviting.
On the palate: medium-bodied, dry, low acidity and medium alcohol. Fresh but firm and well balanced. Some minerality on the above-average finish. This is a well-made wine!
At under 10 GBP IB per bottle, this wine represents incredible value for money. Would not be surprised if it beats wines 3x its price in blind tastings. -
