REVIEWS
Alder Yarrow, Vinography, USA
Pale greenish gold in the glass, this wine smells of struck match and white flowers with a hint of lemon curd. In the mouth bright lemon curd and lemon juice flavours mix with stony deep minerality and an almost tannic quality. Wonderfully long finish. 9-9.5/10
