The colour was light clear pale straw yellow. The bouquet was crisp and dry with clean lemon citrus. The flavour started with grassy capsicum and citrus and tropical fruit, and had a medium crisp citrus finish. This was a quite clean and crisp style, with with moderate fruit.

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.
