The colour was medium watery gold. There was a light peachy fruit bouquet. The taste showed medium lemon peach fruit, and a light dry finish. This was fairly light, simple, and pretty basic. I'm not sure where this winery was based, so I have just labelled it New Zealand.

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.
