Reviews and Ratings

Valérie Dufour - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Pale robe, but shiny. Subtle nose with white fruit and (light) petroleum aromas. Delicate mouth with nice acidity, not tense. Round. Easy to drink. Try it with a plate of soft cheeses.
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Fresh and crisp with mild notes of honey, lemon curd and apricot. A light-bodied easy drinking Riesling. It's lacking some concentration for my preference, still a great summer sipper and a decent intro to the Henry of Pelham upper tier labels. Tasted March 2017 by @sommsosa

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.
