JAMES SUCKLING 93 POINTS - "Aromas of yuzu, sliced apples and minerals with a touch of light toast that gives a warm note of freshly baked bread. This is quite fresh and zingy on the palate, with a medium body and a transparent, minerally and tense center palate. Limpid and pure, with a medium-long finish. Semillon and chenin blanc."

Medium-bodied, with an electric freshness piercing the Argentinian ripeness of fruit. A refreshing wine driven by succulent citrus and stone fruits - some ripe skins included - along with a floral quality and that classic honeyed hint that Chenin develops. Some of the wine is aged 8 months in French oak and all of it on its fine lees, which lends a lightly toasty character and a slightly creamier texture. The finish is moderately intense with a smoky, mineral accent to the fruit.
