Judging Results
Medal / Award	Silver
Overall Score	90
Judge 1	Attenuated palate with lean fruit; green apple, slight smokiness. Taut and austere.
Judge 2	Warm straw. Interesting nose here: some greeny herbs, Some acid fruits, stepping on an unripe passionfruit type thing, but quite pleasant. Nettle, grassiness. Palate has some roundness and richness and punch, and this is a good wine, whatever it is.
Judge 3	Pale gold. Pretty lifted white blossom and stone fruit aromas, on the palate some leafy notes, honeyed lilting texture, richness, freshness.
Associate Judge	golden pale. pineapple, green banana, hibicus. tropical fruit on palate, granular acid up front then smooth and juicy out back. bit of banana lollies, overripe fruit character, has redeeming texutre and grip
