“This wine has a tight, mineral edge that gives it a firm texture. Beneath that texture, the fruit is crisp, full of acidity, and bursting with citrus flavors. The wine needs a few more months. Best enjoyed starting in 2020.” (Wine Enthusiast – 2019). In three words: finesse, complexity, balance. We love it!
