Nice but not cheap
Got this for a dinner party and it went down well. Crisp and clean with a lovely peachy thing going on underneath the citrus. At nearly £24 though it's not an everyday bottle for me. Good for a treat.

Summer in a glass
Absolutely loved this. Saw it on a menu at a Portuguese place and ordered a bottle to share. The white peach flavour is gorgeous and it's got this chalky dry finish that makes you want another sip straight away. Already tracked down a bottle for home.

Decent, expected a bit more
It's a solid white wine, don't get me wrong. Nice limey freshness and I liked the mineral finish. But for the price I was hoping for something a bit more exciting? I've had Alvarinhos from Lidl that punched close to this for half the money.

Really impressed with this one
Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it. The citrus hit is proper refreshing — like biting into a really good grapefruit but without it being harsh. Had it with some grilled sea bass and it was perfect. Would definitely buy again.

Solid choice for fish night
My partner bought this for my birthday along with some fancy fish and chips. Really zesty and refreshing, proper citrusy without being too sharp. At 12.5% it's not too heavy either so we polished off the bottle pretty easily. Would happily have it again but probably wouldn't pay full whack myself.
