This is a funky and interesting wine that is not going to be enjoyed by the mainstream. Fresh with some green apples, pears and herbal tones. Decent bit of acidity, but loses some points on a bit of a rough finish.

After a year, this wine is still drinking beautifully. If anything, it has improved, with clean, with aromas of ripe apples, lemon, white flowers and wet stones. The palate is dry, with lemon, melon and stone fruit flavors. The acidity is medium (+) and palate-cleansing. The alcohol is medium at 12.5%. This is a well made, balanced wine with medium (+) flavor intensity and a medium finish. It is fine by itself, but its tangy acidity pairs especially well with rich and oily appetizers.

Agree with previous notes. Some tastes I think I like the acid and mild fruit are good. Some I get a strange starfruit bitterness that is strange. Probably won't try more.

Not sure what to think about this wine, but I am torn between thinking of it as different and unpleasant. There's a bitterness and an almost synthetic, savoury 'cardboard' taste. But at the same time there is a certain juiciness and some clean, fresh notes. An enigma, but I don't think I will buy again.

Silvery. Initially slightly unpleasant, sourish nose. But once that subsides there is more complexity - tropical fruits, passion fruit, peach, melon and a little lime. Like the nose, initially sour. But later it becomes soft and buttery with a contradictory big streak of acid. Apples, pineapple, green melon - unusual but not at all employment

Has all the typical notes of flowers, minerality and some fruit. Nothing stands out but it's a pleasant wine. Maybe overpriced but certainly not a disappointment.

The nose is clean, with aromas of lemon, white flowers and wet stones. The palate is dry, with predominantly lemon flavors and some stone fruit. The acidity is medium (+) and palate-cleansing. The alcohol is medium at 12.5%. This is a well made, balanced wine which is particularly food friendly. Drink now.

Tasted at the winery. On the nose, fresh white flowers, lemon zest and a hint of petroleum. On the palate fat lemon fruit, hints of honey and peach, good acidity and a long finish with a spicy bitterness. (83 - 85)

Yes a bit of apricot and aroma but yes a bit of off bitterness must qualify as an acquired taste wine ( traditional).

Aromatic wine, golden colour
Rich mouthfeel with hints of apricot, apple and hint of acidity. Good balance

Funky and bitter. Not good. Some say traditional, if so, glad to see the world has moved forward from this style. Avoid.

Pizza Night with QPR Wines (Leo's Place, Mpls, MN): Pale greenish color. 3oz pour over 20 minutes. Rather aromatic, earthy, green fruits, herbal.

Ett friskt vin med fin syra. Både citron, äpple och grape. En frisk kryddig eftersmak med mycket citron, aning sötma och även lite bitter eftersmak
