This 2025 rendition of Little Wine Co's Pecorino (see 2024 for a little variety etymology) is a fresh and fragrant delight. Unwaxed lemon skin, aromatic herb. The palate has a lemon zest freshness, grapefruit pith - building to a little textural spread, with a salinity that brings in a drying - almost bitter lemon, not quite - complexity and length to it. 

At turns its both dangerously smashable, yet also beguiling complex - enough to halt you from demolishing it with such reckless abandon. Smart. Delicious. 92

Not just a cheese variety (Pecorino being a catch-all term for any cheese made entirely from Sheep's whey), but so named after the Italian for sheep 'Pecora' and the old shepherd's route that the vines grew alongside.

Plenty of interest here: cantaloupe melon, Pear William - both aromatically, into and then through the palate.

A slight briny tang lingers, at turns both refreshing and also leaving your yearning for more. Generous length that tugs on. Very enjoyable. 93

A white blend of Verdelho, Pecorino, Vermentino, and Albarino (order as listed on the label, not necessarily by contribution to the blend).

Beautiful aromatics: frangipane, almond paste, snow pea tendril. Has a minerally suggestive edge that just catches the nasal cavity - perhaps a little white pepper / rotund one note.

Musk and minerally through the middle, pleasing enough texture a tingly spine of acid. A most pleasing all-rounder. 92
