Pow! Lassoo apricots, peaches, character, stamina, focus, moorishness, yellow, immensely approachable but still complex. Wish I'd spent more time in Havana.

Honey, pear and smoky, herbal notes. A nice alternative to Chardonnay with great acid and structure. If you can find it, it's worth trying!

Hints of lees add complexity to round plush fruit notes and fresh acidity.

This is a beautiful wine. A bit chalky, hint of sweet citrus, honey notes, kumquat. Medium to full bodied.

Well balanced. Bright acidity. Lively citrus fruit. Very fair for the price. Had this with a 6 course fish tasting menu and it was spot on.

Great wine for spicy oriental food, minerality remains firm but does not shock
