Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This is fruity and fun but not super sweet. Even though it has 76g/L of sugar, the biting acidity balances it quite well. Pale salmon in colour. Fruit salad aromas, peach apricot, pineapple, papaya, mango - really all kinds of tropical fruit, orange blossoms and honeyed ginger. On the palate there is some flavour of canned mandarins, green mango, pineapple, honey and ginger. Medium body and finish. Smooth, crisp and refreshing. Low alcohol, it is a great breakfast wine! Yes, I said it. Pair with orange juice for a magical mimosa. 88 points

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
