Reviews and Ratings

Mikhail Polienko rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Intense aromatic character of exotic fruits with mild minerality (dominating features of the Riesling variety in mild Mediterranean terroir). Delicately acidic palate with a sense of volume (influence of the Lagorthi variety). The after-taste leaves sense of fresh tropical fruits.
Perfectly fits Mediterranean cuisine. Enjoy it with salads, fresh white cheese, pasta, seafood and white meat with white sauce.

Alex & Priya - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Alex: Wow, scrumptious nose packed with spring flowers and exotic spice notes, such as cardamom and sage accented by lemon oil and white peach. Bone dry palate, but quite fruity and seemingly loaded with sunshine and vitality. Outstanding at $14, a variant of Riesling not often encountered, and simply fantastic for the coming spring weather. 92pts

Priya: Not at ALL what I would have expected from smelling it! It has such a lovely, floral note, like jasmine or lilac in full bloom. I love your 'sunshine and vitality' comment Alex! This is definitely not your typical riesling but it is a nice change from the sweeter style. And I agree, it still retains a fruity note. 89pts

Cherie Cole rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Exotic and femine, with vibrant acidity. Pineapple, honeydew melon, tangerine, orange blossom with a long, tropical fruit finish. Gorgeous! Tasted April 3, 2016.

Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A mix of intense of tropical fruits and soft minerality. Extra dry with good texture and soft acidity. Would pair well with salads, white cheese, white fish or white meats.

Gabriel WSET ADV rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Brightly aromatic with apricot, pear and satsuma zest. Not quite dry with a slight tang (like citrus peel) on the finish. Elegant finish. This would be a great pick for hors d'oeuvres or a poached halibut.
