This review was part of an article on Marco Lubiana.

This is is mineral and light, elegant and textural, but it also has that free-flowing, unfettered feel that is often associated with the words “low fi”. It’s complex, honeyed and spicy, so there’s no shortage of flavour, but it’s a wine of such youthful good looks that it doesn’t require adornment; it tastes like a wine that’s been allowed to run barefoot through the long grass, in the most skilful of ways. It’s a belter.
