The colour was light pale golden yellow with a green tint. The bouquest showed strong acid, lime, and tropical fruit. The taste was very crisp lime and gooseberry fruit, and there was a steely acid finish, which was quite long. This wine showed intense fruit and strong crisp acidity. It won gold at the 2006 Royal Easter Show, and gold at the 2005 Air NZ Wine Awards.

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.
