Nez floral, un peu herbacé. Un vin parfumé, au fruité franc et délicieux. Belle finale minérale, me fait penser globalement à un vin du sud de la France sur un mode fraîcheur.

For $13, this is very good. With a bit of yeasty flavor, which I normally find in dry Champagnes, this offers pretty nuances of banana peel, spring flowers, honey, and jasmine tea. It's got plenty of acidity, good mouthfeel, and lovely balance. 12% alc on front label and 12.5% alc on back label.

Farge: Dyp gylden. Duft: Tropisk frukt, noe sitrus og markert innslag av "firne" á la moden Riesling med botrytis(!) Smak: Fruktig, fin friskhet, middels til relativt fyldig/rik. Anderledes, men spennende vin.

Waxy, somewhat spicy fruits, tropical flavors resembling a Chardonnay or perhaps a blend with some other grape. lightly aggressive acids. Pretty simple and a nice drink. No re-buy for me but this producer does some really good other stuff, especially reds.

Good white, different. This is the second bottle I opened. Paired barbecued codfish and vegetables. REquires food. Good white to serve as alternative for old chardonnay and sauvignon blancs we see in the mrket.....

Nose: a bit tight on the nose...difficult to identify what it smells like...maybe some earthy and herbal components. Mouth:very nice acidity, dense, round, but it's a bit austere to me. It's good wine, but could be more generous in terms of smell and flavor.
