Judging Results
Medal / Award Gold
Overall Score 96
Judge 1 Gingernut, white flowers. Fresh palate with m(-) acid but lacks a little harmony and drops away a little. Attractive.
Judge 2 Bright. Baked bread, beeswax, almond kernel, jasmine. Mouth filling viscosity, lees contact and barrel use hone the fine acidity and fruitiness of the wine. Very well done.
Judge 3 quite like this - good varietal flavours, well balanced
Associate Judge nice lifted zesty, spice, stone fruit, full flavoured stone fruit palate, with spice, textural line and balance
