Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Fresh, crisp and elegant. This lighter style Chardonnay from Argentina's Uco Valley wine region pleases the senses with notes reminiscent of fresh lemon, green apple, white grapefruit and subtle oak spice.

This is another satisfying creation from wine maker Susanna Balbo, one of the 10 most influential women in the wine business (The Drinks Business, 2018).

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
