The colour was pale clear straw gold. The bouquet had strong fruity tropical and peach, crisp clean capsicum, grass, and gooseberry. There was tropical and intense peach fruit, capsicum and stalky flavours, and a long crisp dry, citric acid finish. This wine was very crisp and clean, with complex fruit 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.
