Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Fresh and bright, zesty lime and also a hint of floral on nose. Lemon and lime flavours are prominent, green but not too grassy. Nice and balanced acidity. Shows a bit of softness compared to some other Sauvignon Blanc. Try this with some fresh spring vegetables.
Philippe Perreault rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Clear yellow color with notes of kiwi, orange peel, pear, grapefruit and mandarine.

This wine is edgy, creamy and long on the palate.

Try it with a pork tenderloin.

Serve it at 10-12 degrees.

Ready to drink but can be aged 3-5 years.
Astrid Young rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Grassy and tart gooseberry on the nose with a hint of florals, light and fresh, dry with balanced acidity and a Savory note. Lurton may be a huge cooperative, but they do a great job. Good value, perfectly good quaffer or aperitif wine.
Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Aromas of lemon, pear, and gooseberry, minerality as well as a very slight creamy aspect. The taste is lemon and pear, with a medium finish.

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.
