Judging Results
Medal / Award	Gold
Judge 1	A lithe, delicate style with some pithy detailing, soft salad greens and preserved lemon. A graceful flow through the finish, acid uplifting the wine rather than slicing through it.
Judge 2	Green pears that feel slightly sweaty, a bit of grime on the nose. Acid runs a little scarce here and finishes before the fruit has a chance to open the wine up.
Judge 3	M straw green. White fruit, M acidity, slightly phenolic finish, lacks elegance and finesse
Associate Judge	Lemon rind, pithy. Pal has some brightness of acid, fruit is good. Doesn't sing across tongue.
