The colour was light-medium bright clear straw gold. There was strong tropical, capsicum, and cirus fruit. The flavour had grassy capsicum, gooseberry and stone fruit, and a long crisp acid finish. This wine had classic crisp varietal flavours, an intense fruit bouquet, strong acid balance, and moderate complexity.

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.
