Judging Results
Medal / AwardGold
Judge 1quite like this - good varietal flavours, well balanced
Judge 2Gingernut, white flowers. Fresh palate with m(-) acid but lacks a little harmony and drops away a little. Attractive.
Judge 3Bright. Baked bread, beeswax, almond kernel, jasmine. Mouth filling viscosity, lees contact and barrel use hone the fine acidity and fruitiness of the wine. Very well done.
Associate Judgenice lifted zesty, spice, stone fruit, full flavoured stone fruit palate, with spice, textural line and balance
