Judging Results
Medal / Award	Bronze
Judge 1	good colour, slightly coarse mouse , rs apparent but clean and well made ok com
Judge 2	bright / fresh, hint of aldehyde, saline / oystershell, cut apples, mousse a little coarse, decent bead.
Judge 3	Nashi pear, green apple, clean and fresh, the autolysis characters are super dialled back - this is bouncy and yet elegant, a perfect answer to the hunger for prosecco happening currently. I would suggest it borders on simple but it is refreshing, with lovely chalky, fine tannins that provide real interest through the finish.
Associate Judge	ripe stone fruits honeysuckle, yuzu, grapefruit acid, nice clean finish, good mousse.
Associate Judge	light straw, colour, lifted, floral, hint muscat, orange zest, palate is tad disjointed and broad - some phenolics here which dominate palate, and make finish a bit hard and chewy.
