Reviews and Ratings

A compact and cool nose that offers a mix of tropical and citrus fruits with gentle fresh basil and smooth melon fragrance. The palate has the same play of citrus and tropical fruits, nuances of tangy nectarine here too, all very evenly spread and neatly composed from start to 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.
