Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	88
Judge 1	Quite crisp, green apple with blossom touches. Light and planar on the palate.
Judge 2	Warm pewter hue. Nose is fresh, a bit of free SO2 and herb stalk over some gentle lychee. Palate is bright, zesty and fresh, parses the varietal coarseness well. Pleasing bit of kernel bitterness but not OTT. Good. Slight lack of freshness keeping out of Silver for me..
Judge 3	Pale lemon. Dried straw, light toasted nut notes over white peach stone fruit - textural, leesy mouthfeel, acidity zing, alcohol prickle. Savoury, chalky finish. A lighter style.
Associate Judge	rose, lychee, orange blossm. Acid has a steely quality, touch smoky sulphide on palate that clips finish. Second look wine opens more, sulphide becomes complexing
