A clean, lean, bright, sharp white. If you’re looking for zest, zip and salinity, this is the wine to pick. It’s really well made- but my only complaint is that’s it’s almost too clean, too polished. — 8 hours ago

Hints of sea salt on the nose with lime zest and citrus. On the pallet the wine is richer and fuller than anticipated. The citrus note continues and the finish is lifted and quite clean, would work well with food.  — 6 months ago

9.0

Dry PX so very different in profile to the usually sweet PX (which is delicious over ice-cream!). This is dry but fat with oak. Tastes and smells like a relative of the sherry family. There is some dried fruit and orange on the nose that continues to the palate. The oak is forward but once you get past it the orange notes appear. I like it! It’s a wine for food pairing or for sherry lovers. — 9 hours ago

A deliciously complex nose leading to a slightly smoky mouth with hints of minerality. This wine leaves the pallet feeling fresh and wanting more. I think this is quite a young wine. Would love@to taste an older vintage This is a 2022 — 6 months ago

I really like Lugana wines this version is quite smoky on the pallet with some mentality. It’s quite a dry style but well made.  — 6 months ago

8.9

Little dosage making this wine quite a dry and austere in style however this wine is made with a blend of Pinot Gris and the producer has left the grapes to ripen for as long as possible. A clean fresh style with citrus, bright green apple notes. No biscuit or classic yeasts on the nose or palate. — 6 months ago
