This wine had a bright pale golden yellow colour. The bouquet was quite intense, with citrus lime fruit and honey. The taste showed apricot and citrus lime fruit, hints of honey, and a crisp acid finish. This wine showed classic lime fruit and crispness. It won silver at the Air New Zealand Awards 2002.
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.
