Judging Results
Medal / AwardGold
Judge 1colour is a touch forward for its age. good fruit weight, balanced oak and complexity, but has short and acid finish
Judge 2Sugar floss, Rich nectarine, flinty, Oak present and wine has picked up some colour. Rich round chardy with some intersting layers
Judge 3Golden in the glass. Rich, complex, loads of flavour, good length. Curry leaf through the finish, all in all - on the concentrated/intense/ripe/punchy end of the spectrum. Good length rounds it out. Slaty complexity mid palate elevates this wine.
Associate Judgeshortbread honey creamy bready acidities are still very bright statfruity grapefruits pith
Associate JudgeLight flinty profile. Citrus palate, quite seductive with lemon curd expression and little viscosity through mid palate. Finishes with a hint too much salinity, but gets the saliva working and wanting more
