Gold Medal winner at the 2012 Concours de Bordeaux Vins d’Aquitaine. A blend of Colombard, Muscadelle and Sauvignon Blanc that delivers bright and fresh aromas of grapefruit citrus, spice, herbs and grass with an elegant floral component. Flavours of ripe pink grapefruit, green grass and more herbs shine on the crisp and lifted palate. Fresh acidity provides balance and structure. Lovely. Source: Vintages Wine Panel, April 2013

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.
