Judging Results
Medal / Award Bronze
Judge 1 tropical fruit lift, clean and crisp, well made, just a bit simple
Judge 2 1 dimension, estery, confected and lacking interest but clean and aromatic. Tank ferment
Judge 3 Touch sweaty, funky, green pineapple, white currant, sugar snap peas and cassis. Pure. Not sure where this fits on the bottleshop shelf - a strange wine, but some pleasure here, and well put together.
Associate Judge fruity pure expression of grape on nose floral, elderflower, fresh lychee fresh herbs Chevel
Associate Judge Passionfruit nose. Rich tasty white, I feel a little confused by it. But would get drunk as easy and fruit driven
