Judging Results
Medal / Award
Overall Score	84
Judge 1	Light floral perfume. Classic lychees on entry, good weight, plush texture with fair body, tapering down to a talcum finish with honeycomb.
Judge 2	Mid straw colour. Bit of redux, not a lot of varietal signifiers. Bit cheesy. Fairly highly acidified, bitter length.
Judge 3	Pale gold with savoury mineral-led nose of wet stones, and light citrus zest. Oak/ lees influence in texture/ vanilla richness, tannin? Finishes savoury, a little short.
Associate Judge	muted aromatics, spicy green herbal, banana smoothie, coarse grippy phenolic shortens finish and leaves wine a bit hard and drying
