The colour was very pale bright greenish gold. The bouquet was strong steely acid, and very crisp. The flavour had intense tropical gooseberry and passionfruit fruit, and an acid finish. This had classic Marlborough fruit and strong dry acid balance. It won gold in the Air NZ Wine Awards, 2006.

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.
