This wine had a light pale golden yellow colour. the bouquet had crisp dry capsicum and grassy gooseberry fruit. The taste was sharp crisp and grassy, with citrus, tropical and gooseberry fruit, and a crisp acid finish. This was a very fresh crisp style with strong fruit balance.

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.
