Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1Herbal spice and fresh green pea. Juicy mid. Savoury edged. Crunchy but bit dilute?
Judge 2Light blonde in the glass with gold highlights, this wine smells of lemon and wet stones with a hint of roasted nuts. In the mouth, zippy lemon pith, unripe pear, and crushed stones have a lovely chalky minerality and nice grapefruit pith note that lingers in the finish. Excellent acidity.
Judge 3shy nose, lanolin, waxy. nice freshness, lacking some flavour intensity
Associate Judgemuted on the nose, bright saline, nice weight but less complexity and length
