90pts "Fine beading. Refreshing and fruity lemon, lime and apple with a hint of briny chalk and grassiness. Tight and fine palate with plenty of personality. This is fun, dry fizz indeed!" - Regan Drew, Vino Notebook
"Some grassy and fragrant, herbal notes with chalky nuances and sliced apples. The palate has a crisp pear and apple core. Dry and lively with some lemon peel to close. Drink now." - James Suckling Review
