Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Lovely and refreshing! Aromas of strawberry, watermelon, lime zest and orange blossom. Bright acidity, lots of citrus on the palate, and a medium+ finish. Enjoy with smoked salmon.
This wine radiates with tart strawberry, citrus and watermelon. Lively acidity, creamy body and an elegant long floral finish make for a bold bottle as alluring as the day is long.
