Reviews and Ratings

Valerie Stride - WSET ADV rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A vibrant, aromatic nose -- indulging. Notes of apricot, peaches & cream, sweet candied orange, and a twist of lemon. On the palate, this wine is sweet, mouth-watering, and delicate. Floral, citrus fruits, candy, and stone fruits make this a beautiful aperitif.
Martha Kelly AIWS - CS rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

This unique wine is aptly named for its flavours and aromas of fresh orange and marmalade. The luscious sweetness is balanced with refreshing acidity.
Sip on its own, blend into winter cocktails, sangria, punch, or pair with butter tarts.
Drink now or keep through 2015.
Date tasted: November 2014.

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.

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.
