Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Overall Score	89
Judge 1	Pale with green hues, FSO2, very fresh, some grassy notes, subdued, tight
Judge 2	slight spritz in glass. pale hue. slight flint/cheesecloth reduction. aromatic inviting nose - lemon pip, coriander stalk, inviting green herbs, sunflower seed, lemon shades. glossy palate, pillowy fruit with great texture. stonefruit and spice and flint, but not the concentration to take this higher, touch watery on the finish, but lots of interest.
Judge 3	Some DCO2 on a cool straw appearance. Nice extremely fresh nose, some crushed culinary herb stalk and sweetpea florals, bit of melond rind. Palate is rounded, not much acidity, but very youthful. Estery end of ferment aromatics. Green and yellow melon flavours. Fresh if a little broad/ coarse.
Associate Judge	Pretty, musk lolly. Dollop of mid palate sweetness which is pulled through the palate with a nice acid which is very thirst inducing. Nice wine for this style
