Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Lemon and curd on the nose. Nice density. Fresh and well made.
Judge 2Pear and white peach, soft and quite round, becoming washy without the fruit or spice to carry the back.
Judge 3very pale, lacks much in way of varietal definition but is a pleasant white wine, good balanced alcohol and everything in check
Associate JudgeDried hay and bright white citrus blossom. Lovely bright eureka lemon flesh and creamy lead into well managed phenolics. Very well balanced. Not hugely long, but I imagine it's not intended to be. Very pretty. Simple Pretty
