Description

A light, bright, green gold. With its aromas of stone fruits, a touch of grilled nuts and a hint of matchstick, you have to wonder how winemaker Franco D'Anna can make a wine this complex at the price! The palate is still pretty tightly wound, and this impeccably made wine finishes satisfying and long. 95 points - Philip Rich, James Halliday Wine Companion

Cool site, same vineyard as the excellent Riesling.  Green melon, citrus, a slight fino/brine top note, lime rind, aniseed, almond, and an almost mescal spiciness (though subtle). It’s savoury but tight too, has some weight and plenty of complexity, powdery grip to texture, and a mealy and bright finish of excellent length. Such an engaging wine. So rare to get such personality, and dare I say it, charisma, at this price point. Terrific. 92 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
