(2024) Very attractive nose with something green and herbaceous - nettle maybe? - orange rind and a hint of juicy ogen melon. The palate has a fat limey fruit core, really very good acidity, but the hint of ripeness and nectarine sweetness fills out the mid-palate. The juicy, lemony and delicately saline finish is beautifully done. Very good value this one.

(2023) Thirteen grape varieties grow together in this wine from limestone soils and a 15-year-old vineyard at 300 metres. It has 12.8g/l of residual sugar. Dramatically darker in colour than the Te Whare Ra, but four years older too of course. Much less aromatic, with a natural, lightly yeasty and buttery character. The palate's noticeable sweetness and rich texture give this lots of presence, buttery again, an almost blonde chocolate touch, but then the acidity races through. Quite intense, perhaps lacking a little length.

(2023) A dry Riesling from vineyards around Ammerschwihr, this has a discreet nose of lemon and salts, a little herbal note. The palate has lots of juicy, fresh apple, again that little saline note to the lemony acid of the finish that is appealing.

(2023) From sandstone soils, this has a lovely sense of juicy and ripe apple fruit, a hint of creaminess too. In the mouth it is dry and very fresh and tangy, a lovely mouthful of vibrant fruit and tingling acid, gets the gastric juices flowing for sure.

(2023) A similar idea, here the blend is Riesling and Gewurztraminer, with 4.5%g/l of sugar. A much calmer wine than the Grès Roses, subtle waxiness and herby florality to apple and citrus. The palate is quite full, with plenty of juicy melon skin and pear skin grip, nicely balanced acid and sugar into a mouth-filling finish.

(2023) An unusual blend of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris from clay marls and sandstone, with 5.4g/l of residual sugar. It may just have been the way the sample was prepared but this positively fizzed with spritziness on pouring. Again I get that slight yeastiness, and a dry palate where the spritz really confuses the picture. An odd bottle, but I can only judge what's in the glass.

(2023) From a mixed terroir of clay marls, limestone and sandstone, quite fragrant and apple-scented, though aromas are modest. Nicely juicy and sparky on the palate with some spritz and zestiness and a touch of saline in the finish

(2023) From the less heralded Sylvaner variety, quite an interesting nose here, slightly yeasty and bready, apple fruit. In the mouth quite dry, with that slight wheat beer character for me again. Juicy and tangy pear fruit and apple acidity, easy drinking and enjoyable.

(2023) From the limestone slopes of Bollenberg, quite shy aromatically, a hint of creaminess and yellow plum perhaps. In the mouth it is dry, quite racy and saline, just hints of lemon and lime juiciness, a little spark of sweetness does begin to charm.
