The colour was bright greenish gold, and there were quite substantial legs. The bouquet had very crisp acid and lime and pineapple fruit. The taste had strong citrus apricot and capsicum fruit, and a very crisp steely acid finish. This is a clean intense fruity style with plenty of crisp acidity.

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 of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully 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 and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
