Judging Results
Medal / Award Gold
Judge 1 quite like this - good varietal flavours, well balanced
Judge 2 Gingernut, white flowers. Fresh palate with m(-) acid but lacks a little harmony and drops away a little. Attractive.
Judge 3 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.
Associate Judge nice lifted zesty, spice, stone fruit, full flavoured stone fruit palate, with spice, textural line and balance
