The colour was light clear gold. The bouquet had fruity peach, and crisp lime. There was passionfruit and tropical fruit, and a long crisp lime acid. This wine had strong fruit and cris acid, and quite intense flavours. This wine got gold at the 2019 NZ wine awards, and gold at the NZ international wine show.

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.
