WINE Magazine November 2005 - 4 Points
Michelangelo Awards 2005 - Gold Medal
John Platter 2006 - 4 Stars
Veritas 2005 - Bronze
An exciting crisp wine with highly concentrated gooseberry & green fig, hints of grass and a stunning minerality. Fine, cool climate character on the 2005. Has a food frienly grippy acidity.

The crisp taste adds freshness to any seafood dish, especially oysters and salmon.
