  Decanter
  This Sauvignon Blanc with 15% Sémillon is an intense wine that brings an opulence cut with a laser-focused minerality. Briny seaspray, crushed chalk and crushed lime leaf aromas hint at the wine's spiny mineral character and are complemented by whispers of ripe mangoes. The palate is an exercise in ethereal minerality. An edginess of stony crushed granite, briny sea air, oyster shells and petrichor make way for lime pith, grilled lemon, and a broad note of honeyed ginger."

  A Sauvignon Blanc-based white (there's 10% Semillon), the light gold-hued 2021 Flor has quintessential aromatics of honeyed grapefruit, candied lemon zest, and hints of minty, herbal nuances to go with a medium-bodied, vibrant, racy style on the palate that brings solid mid-palate depth as well as a great finish. It will be incredibly versatile on the dinner table and evolve for 7-8 years, although I like it just fine in its fruit-driven youth."

  Super-inviting nose with the right balance of exotic and elegant. Lots going on: guava and a tropical array of flavours. However, the fruit feels dry and refined. This wine is exciting and fun, with more layers of grapefruit and a spicy hint. It is persistent and, despite its 14.5% alcohol, it is fully integrated."

  The Wine Advocate
  Perennially a singular wine, the 2021 La Flor de Jonata spent 11 months in equal parts stainless tank, neutral and new French oak. The nose is decidedly tropical and exotic, with passion fruit and candied lime aromas accented by sourdough crust and blanched almonds. The palate falls between plump ripeness and silky precision, finishing on a soft note lined with subtle acidity. It's a blend of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Sémillon."
