Reviews and Ratings

Trevor Sabourin - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Apple skins, yellow pear, apricot, lemon zest, fresh cut grass, almond, honey, and salty minerals on the nose. Repeats, with an even stronger sense of apple skins and salinity, and some nice fresh lemon and tangerine. Medium-light bodied. A sense of almond, lemon zest, and salinity really lingers on the palate.

Lori Kilmartin WSET3 - WSET3 Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Clear light and pale yellow in colour. Lots of citrus notes - lemon, grapefruit jump out at you from the glass. Light bodied with some good acidity - citrus and green apple. Mouth watering long finish. I picture a glass of this with some shellfish on a patio on a hot summer day!

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

Very light aromas of tropical fruit, floral, and citrus. High acidity with added flavours of lime, herbaceous, and tartness.

Valérie Dufour - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Mineral nose with aromas of Granny Smith apple (you can also smell the alcohol). In the mouth, the wine is fresh with a nice acidity. The alcohol I noticed on the nose is there in the mouth leaving a little burning sensation on the tongue. Nice affordable wine for the BRE months which means that it would be perfect with oysters.

Lynn van der Linde - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This is a lovely and unique wine from the Umbria region of Italy, using the native Grechetto grape. Red grapefruit, lime and wet stone are present in the glass with a decent hit of acidity on the palate, making it a perfect wine with cream and seafood dishes.

Emilie Ryan rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

My first white IGT. I definitely liked this one and would look for more…

Appearance: Pale yellow
Nose: White peaches, pineapple, a little vanilla, some light flowers and herbs.
Taste: An interesting combination of light herbs, flowers, with a touch of sweetness and lemon/acidity. I can see drinking this on its own on a patio in the summer or with some vegetable and/or chicken dishes. It would pair well with a risotto, I think.
Finish: light herbaceous, lemon, long finish. Very enjoyable.
Overall impression: A very pleasant wine, light in acidity, with a nice mix of herbs, flowers and fruit. Leaves me wanting another glass.

Value: 4 out of 5

Cherie Cole rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Pale straw in color, herbaceous and citrus notes on the nose. The mouthfeel is crisp and light bodied. Pair this wine with white fish. Tasted November 29, 2015.

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

A light little sipper, with mild notes of citrus zest, lime, melon and floral on the nose. The palate shows intense tart citrus fruit and minerality. This wine is light bodied, high acid and crisp. Pair with a seafood raw bar (oysters, crab legs, shrimp cocktail) or sashimi. Tasted Dec 2015.

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

The 2014 vintage is light, dry crisp and mouthwatering. Pale straw and 12.5% ABV. Green melon, herbaceousness, lemon zest and wet stone aromatics and on the palate. This wine is an accessibly priced slightly restrained, light bodied white wine which pairs well with freshly shucked oysters, quinoa salad or lightly broiled salmon with couscous. Enjoy soon.

Sean O'Regan - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Pale straw colour, a bit of dusty/musty hints on the nose along with some white pear and citrus. Light bodied, no oak evident some savoury notes along with some citrus lemon/grapefruit.
Tasted November 2015
