Wine Critic Review: This aromatic wine shows lifted flavors of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese, salad, poultry dishes, and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels, and creamy scallops.
My Review: This wine had a very vegetal nose. I could smell a lot of herbs, grass, and lemon. It had a very tart flavor of sharp citrus and green leaves. This wine was light and refreshing. I did not eat it with food, and i think it would have been better with some type of food dish. This is a wine I might try again.
