88/100
Fragrant floral nose, showing white blossom and peach. Surprising medium-to-medium-minus body, with a delicate weight, that, combined with the medium-acidity, makes the wine come in strongly and refreshingly cool. Lemon on the palate leads to a finish medium-plus in length initially showing saturated chamomile but soon settling on light spice and sweet fruit. Best chilled. 87.5 points. $15 is a fair price for this.

What do I know? Quite different to the previous tasting. Ripe, honeyed, some sweetness, mineral streaks. Needs plenty chillin'. Very good for the price (550 baht).

A great value for a warm-weather wine that offers something a bit more than the typical Pinot Grigio.

Very nice ripe orchard fruit with light floral notes, some minerality and good acidity. Has a touch of bitterness on the dry finish. This is great value and I will buy again.

Full of flavour and so very refreshing – exactly what you’d want to drink on a warm day by the Mediterranean! The wine provided an excellent balance of sweet and savoury, fruity and zesty. On the nose, fruits ranged from lime and orange to melon and pineapple, all the while mingling with a lingering floral note (the palate leaned more towards citrus and tart fruits). A wealth of herbs and pepper showed through, with a strong mineral backbone surrounded by …

Tighter and more linear than I might have expected for the style. Some honey and mineral spice make for an interesting drink. Some denser and bitter fruits kick late, driving some length. Strays on track nicely but does ultimately fail to launch.

Grenache Blanc, Chardonnay, Roussanne blend. Nose of minerals, stone, bitter flowers, apricot pits.Buttery on the palate, yet more earth and tart fruit. A nice balance. Finishes easy. Good with food.

Floral nose, bright and tart. Body is a bit thin and finish short, but a great QPR nonetheless.

88-89 floral, tropical, and great QPR Summer White. aggressive acid on opening, improves with air. medium body, crisp spritzy acid, and good length. Matching nose and palate of fresh peach, tangerine, green banana and lychee balanced by sharper lemon/lime citrus. intermixed are super fresh floral aromas but nothing grassy or too green. a dash of honeysuckle on the finish adds an impression of sweetness but this is almost bone dry. Clean minerality ties everything together. not overly complex but a …
