A bouquet of peaches on the nose, smooth medium body, lots of acid and even more minerals that linger.

Light acidity, very smooth, tropical fruits, slight anise nose and taste, very drinkable!

Colour: Very transparent and brillant, almost no colour at all
Nose: Pears and citrusy flavours – not too complex.. Yeast note in the background
Palate: Light and refreshing, bite in citrus flavour but in a pleasant way.. Also unripe peaches. Young style, unpretentious wine.

(23rd October – Bottle Apostle – Crouch End - Enomatic)

Already open a day, so kinda guessing. Soft mineral, moderately sweet, bright acid. Some citrus and summer fruit. Keep very cold, else possibly cloying.

Smell like a dewy morning in the front yard. Chalky minerality with a creamy mid but crisp throughout. Pear skin, hay, lemon zest, slightly floral. Pg.

Nice for a warm climate white. Tropical fruit, oxidized apple, low acidity, med+ alcohol and slightly bitter finish.

Really good. Such bright, fresh citrus on the nose and palate, lots of mineral and great acidity. I paired this delicious liquid with Queso Picón (a Spanish blue cheese), and it was a home run.
