The colour was bright, light greenish lemon. The bouquet showed crisp sharp capsicum and tropical gooseberry fruit. There was strong citrus gooseberry fruit, capsicum, and a long acid finish. This wine showed quite good varietal character, and was clean with good acid crispness.

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.
