The appearance was medium clear, and the colour was lime green-yellow. There was a quite intense lime floral honey bouquet. The flavour was crisp and dry, with citrus lime, and some light honey flavour. It was quite dry and crisp with honey fruit balance.

Note 1 I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2 You may not agree with my evaluation of these wines as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
