Reviews and Ratings

Karen rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Love this wine but disliked 2007 year!
Neil and Maria Empson continue to seek the ultimate expression of the best fruit from the most suitable vineyards, setting the yields at a fraction allowable for the region. They intrude into the winemaking process as little as possible, ensuring the finished wine is a true reflection of the place where it was grown. This is a new vintage of their fresh, versatile, citrus- and melon-scented wine. Source: Vintages Wine Panel

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.
