Critic Review and Score

92 points. "A very decent white, which I hope damns it with just enough faint praise to keep expectations low, but high enough for you to give it a try. It’s a star-fruit-scented blend of 50% Macabeo, 25% Roussanne and 25% Grenache Blanc with white currant, citrus and honeysuckle flavours and needs to be served cold as it’s sole purpose is refreshment, not introspective scrutiny." – Tamlyn Currin for JancisRobinson.com.
