Really generous nose of orange blossom, honeysuckle, and almost a creamy-orange thing. The palate pulls in those flavors with pear, slate, and a wax-like weight. Really nice wine now and would love to see how this matures. Try in 2025 to 2030.

Fresh pear skin and chalky minerality, bright acid made it a winner to finish the night with.

Very fresh, of course, with pear skin, green melon rind, a bit of lemon pith and wet wool. The schist mineralogy creeps in on the nose and finish.

One of the better iterations of Chenin Blanc I've had. Smoky, mineral, not too heavy body.
