Wine Enthusiast
"Tonic and dry, this pretty white has aromas of spring white flowers, ripe peach, bread dough and wild herbs. Concentrated and savory, the palate offers juicy apricot, creamy yellow apple, grapefruit and a saline mineral note. White almond and crystallized ginger mark the finish, while fresh acidity keeps it refreshing. Drink before 2024. (Wine Enthusiast 2021). An unmissable classic!
