The colour was pale-medium greenish gold. The bouquet showed crisp sharp citrus lime fruit and floral characters. The taste was quite intense with lime fruit, light honey, and crisp acid mid and finish. This wine was quite dry, with strong acid balancing the fruit.

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.
