Judging Results
Medal / Award
Judge 1	Delicate on the nose, soft, round and a little sweet through the palate. Interesting though a little undefined. Sweet/sour.
Judge 2	Palest gold in the glass, this wine smells of apple and a hint of salty buttered bread. In the mouth, crisp apple and a touch of salted butter mix with stonier notes. There's a faint yeasty quality to the finish.
Judge 3	Mango oatmeal. Overtly fructose driven and sweet, flabby
Associate Judge	muted white delicate florals, lemon pith, good tension of acidity, with medium length of ripe pear and honeysuckle
