Second wine from this producer and love it! This reminds me of my first few broc, donkey&goat, and hiyu wines. Made me think about what was possible in wine. By far one of the best orange wines I’ve had. This one is more jasmine tea and flowers everywhere. There’s some raspberry, sea salt, nectarine, more flowers, amazingly fresh and vibrant. God this is good and so drinkable. — a year ago
Wine of the night. People list their minds on this wine, and these are people that typically drink prisoner and concannon. So much earth and tannin but balanced by fruit and flower. The nose is crazy. If I had this entire bottle to myself it may be 1 million points. — 3 months ago
New experience and fascinating. This is not funky hipster orange wine at all. This is clean, earl grey tea with forest honey. It’s amazing how much this tastes like a complex tea, but there is also some spiced tangerine. It actually evolves on the palate to baking spices galore, some rosemary, other woodsy notes. I am loving this. What an awesome exploration. I hope I can try other wines from this winery. Reminds me of some of the hiyu blends that are not what we are accustomed to as typical wine. So much more to explore. I wonder if this would age well — 2 years ago

Never had a Riesling like this. Flint and flowers on nose. Lemons too. Smoked pork, lemons, some wood notes, limes, bacon, cream, white flowers, stone, a hint of bbq pineapple, and more citrus. I’m not sure if the smoke from 2020 lead to these flavors but it is wild!!! I don’t need any more of this but glad I tried it. — 9 months ago
Amazing!!! So funny that this is described as hedonistic by hiyu. Just beautiful Grenache fruit. Nose of berries, mushroom, white pepper, but if game kind of like roast duck with a cherry compote. Palate is is just perfectly balanced with bright red fruits, cranberry sauce on peppered turkey, so much earth and herbs as well. Evolves over the first 90 minutes. Guessing it would even more over the night but we’ll probably drink it all by the time we finish cooking dinner. So freaking good. One of the most approachable wines from hiyu. Definitely like a northern Rhône. — 2 years ago

"Clochan" comes from a single vineyard planted to a field blend of Mencia, Graciano, Carignane, Grenache and Nero d'Avola. Bass notes of game, leather and damp earth support a core of sweet cherry fruit” — 19 days ago
