The colour was quite strong bright straw yellow, with a moderate bead. The citrus bouquet was crisp with some yeasty mushroom. The flavour was light with buttery lemon and apple fruit, and a dry yeast finish. This is a fruity style, with medium body with some crisp 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.
