This wine had a clear light golden yellow colour. It had a strong fruity citrus and floral bouquet. The flavour was medium citrus lime and light honey, with a moderate crisp acid balance. This was a nicely balanced wine, with fruit and acid characters. It received a blue-gold award at the Sydney 2002 International Wine Competition.

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.
