  More well known as Antle Vineyard. Very lovely drink, exuberant fruits of green apple and pear without being too ripe or exotic. The wine has a full mouthfeel but yet retains great subtlety, not your dilute French supermarket Muscadet for sure. One of the few wines that I regret not backing up the truck for (and unlikely I'd have the chance to get more unfortunately), this was an absolute steal for the price.

  High in acidity, needs food. Once paired with a chicken and chorizo dish the wine tamed and was quite enjoyable. Given the acid backbone I suspect it will age for 5-7 more years

  Started out a bit weak on the nose and palate. But after some hours of air it blossomed and the nose shows tropical fruits, some alcohol, but not unpleasant in any way. The palate is intense and balanced. Not overly acidic, but has an animal oily quality to it which is subdued and diminished with air. A good wine.
