Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88
Judge 1	Herbal spice and fresh green pea. Juicy mid. Savoury edged. Crunchy but bit dilute?
Judge 2	Light 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 3	shy nose, lanolin, waxy. nice freshness, lacking some flavour intensity
Associate Judge	muted on the nose, bright saline, nice weight but less complexity and length
