The colour was a strong bright greenish golden yellow. The bouquet was intense, with grassy citrus fruit. The taste was very crisp, with strong grassy capsicum and lime fruit, light wood and crisp stalky finish. This was a very crisp intense style.

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.
