Judging Results
Medal / Award Gold
Trophy Best White Italian Variety Wine
Judge 1 quite closed and reserved, more weight and density than expected on palate, tight and focused acid, quite lean finish, needs time to open up
Judge 2 pale colour, very floral, touch citrus. Good weight and freshness on the palate. Attractive length - nice touch of saltiness on the finish
Judge 3 pear led nose, concentrated juicy palate, lots of green fruit, fresh crunchy finish
Associate Judge Peachy, intense, ripe profile, generous flavours but built well with opulence matched with restraint on the palate. Layers of flavours, good savoury edge.
