Reviews and Ratings

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Delicate salmon pink wine with a pronounced aroma of raspberry, rose, melon, and fainter notes of cherry and grapefruit and a saline tang. The wine is dry and fresh; the predominant taste in the mouth is raspberry, melon , grapefruit pith with a saline tang and a faint perfumed note. This wine will pair well with simply grilled chicken and shrimp and with soft cheeses. It drinks very well on its own.
Normally this wine is available mainly in restaurants but because of the current COVID-19 pandemic the agency has made it available directly to the public.

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.

The Financial Times of London

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.
