Alex & Priya rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Alex: Lots of winemaking here! Touches of botrytis and french oak with a very round nose of apricot, saffron, candied ginger, yellow apple and white pepper. So weighty and lavish, round and curvy, impressing more for a glass than a bottle but it's an impressive glass indeed. 89pts

Priya: A very unique smelling gruner. Smells sweeter and more floral than you'd expect from this Austrian grape but the sweetness doesn't spill overwhelmingly to the flavours thankfully. So beautiful, just a tasty and fresh wine. 91pts
Sean O'Regan rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Medium yellow, the nose shows sweet honeyed citrus and melon with herbs and white pepper. Medium full bodied, fresh and zingy with great citrus and herb with lingering peppery spice on the finish. Paired with grilled sausages. 90+
Tasted April, 2016
Jane Staples rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Fresh & lemony on the nose. The refreshing palate has citrus and green herbal notes. Light and crisp with a long citrus 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.
