The colour was pale golden yellow, and there was a slightly oily appearance. The bouquet was strong melon and citrus lemon acid. There was tropical pineapple fruit flavour, and light oak and crisp acidity. This wine had medium body, and had quite well balanced fruit and acid.

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.
