The appearance was bright and clear, with a pale greenish straw gold colour. The bouquet was sharp and dry, with citrus melon. It was crisp and sharp, with citric acid, and light buttery melon fruit. This was quite dry, but a fruity style, with light wood.

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.
