The colour was medium intense bright gold, and it was quite oily. The bouquet had sharp citrus melon fruit, and was stalky and dry. There was crisp dry citrus fruit, soft oak, and a light buttery feel. This wine was quite an intense style, and well balanced. It won bronze at the Air NZ Wine Awards 2002, and bronze at the Liquorland International Wine Competition 2001.

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.
