Judging Results
Medal / Award Silver
Judge 1 More savoury. Has spice. Lifted herbals and nettle. Has some interesting struck match sulphide. Acid edgy style.
Judge 2 Palest gold with a hint of green, this wine smells of lemon cucumber, lime zest, and green herbs. In the mouth, lime, green apple skin, and citrus pith have a faintly saline bright juiciness with excellent acidity. Wonderfully stony and chalky, with a crystalline note. Hangs just this side of austere, with a lovely brightness.
