The colour was medium clear gold. The bouquet had fruity grape and orange, with light citrus acidity. The flavour was floral orange and stone fruit, with light crispness. This was quite fruity, peach, orange and citrus, with light acid balance. This was a fairly simple fruity 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.
