750mL bottle, 2022 cork, Ma Che Siete, 5/14/24. Clear, honey-golden. Small, off-white head quickly to ring. Stunning nose of rich grape acidity, gentle oak and tons of mineral and marmalade-like character. Moderate lactic and Brett acids provide a great complement to the grapes. In the mouth there's rich white wine, juicy honey-kumquat and wonderfully balanced acidity. Lip smacking on the finish. Gentle oak, lingering vanilla. Soft, wheat-slick textures with fine carbonation.

Bottle at the brewery. Pours yellow-gold, highly effervescent, with a lasting, creamy white head. Lovely stuff, restrained tartness, modest acidity, lemony and flinty, a little peach, mild salty bite, nips of grapefruit. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Super clean finish, drying, more bright fruit character, citrus, lemon, tangerine. Outstanding.

750mL bottle, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a champagne-like effervescence, with white grape skins, moderate barnyard funk, and gentle acidity. Flavour is incredibly complex, with a wonderfully expressive white grape character, moderate funk, moderate mustiness, and a champagne-like effervescence. Complex, funky and vinous. Just wonderful.

750ml shared with Ryan, Phill, and Mario (The Garden brewer, Croatia). Appearance: slightly hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: amazing grapes with a little of funk. Taste: same, nice balance between fruit, sharpness, carbonation, funk, and oak. Overall: amazing!
