A small company they make 40,000 bottles and the winery is named after the son and daughter this is all from the 2009 harvest and spends 3 years on the lees. Has lots if trees fruits from cremant and avise. Very creamy and rich with only. 3 hectares of vines. Lovely texture creamy with notes if white flowers and a nice touch of ginger spice. Less than 10,000 bottles. Excellent — 10 years ago

In your face flavor and depth not quite expected of a 2010. Fruity like a California wine, but much more complex than most wines that focus on the fruit-forward. Has a tangy edge to it, but also a loamy warmth that you would probably smell in a humid, misty forest that gets plenty of rain and has lots of moss growing on the trees. Easy to drink on its own, medium-bodied. — 12 years ago

8.9

Mid ruby, smooth ripe blackberries, dry, fine tannins. Creamy, spicy warm dark red fruity berries, smooth rounded flavours with a long finish.
A good wine that celebrates and indeed supports the conservation of the rata trees, whose bloom features on the label. — 10 years ago

Delicious merlot, grown by eucalyptus trees so it has a very unique flavor. — 12 years ago

Made from younger trees. I prefer the more expensive version with the elder trees though. This one was about $16-$17, so $8 cheaper from Arlequin. — 13 years ago

Very light in color. Faint aroma of linden trees in bloom and pear. Bracing acidity and some minerality. Tingles through the finish. Makes a clean getaway. 2013 — 10 years ago
