Judging Results
Medal / AwardGold
TrophyBest White Iberian Variety wine
Judge 1Lemon peel, subtle oak and spice. Slight waxy character. Soft and easy. Nice balance. Lacks some complexity and acid drive to push it up.
Judge 2Bit more restrained, some stone fruits and florals. Palate is well balanced with nice acid line and fruit to support. Would like to see a bit more concentration.
Judge 3Some colour, complexity (lees?), riper stone fruits, quite chewy and interesting tension - almost hard - citrus skin elements and good carry. Retasting, looks good.
Associate Judgemed intensity, green pineapple, melon, fresh herb character, med plus acid, med lemon length.
