manimal 89.0/100

Pale straw-yellow. Somewhat aromatic nose with notes of pear, lemon zest, nuts and popcorn kernels. Dry on the palate with moderate acidity, moderate alcohol and decent length. Flavours are very nutty with a pleasant hint of bitter almond on the finish. This is an easy drinking, yet very characterful wine that makes for a nice change from the overly fruit-forward whites being cranked out of most New World wine regions. It gets extra points for being a great value.

wolfinsheepskin 90.0/100

I wouldn't say it any differently - except for the popcorn kernels - than manimal. We bought this wine on sale and expected something very average. It turned out to be quite a delight. The nose is full of pears but it's not a very fruity wine. Very refreshing, great for summer temperatures and white fish dinners.
