The colour was light-medium pale straw gold. This wine had a medium-dry citrus-lime tropical bouquet. The taste was fruity and clean with a medium-dry start, gooseberry and citrus lemon flavours, and a crisp finish. This was a clean dry fruity style, but lacking true complexity and flavour.

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.
