  Lemon, pale straw colour. Nicely balanced but a bit too generic to be anything but a quaffer. Bouquet of dew melon that continues through to the first tasting. Substantial hit of lime on the short finish but a bit lacking in the mid palate which is dominated by the minerality. Pretty well balanced but not particularly memorable.

  2011 Sydney Royal Wine Show - Exhibitor's Tasting (Olympic Park, Homebush): {screwcap} Youthful nose of slate & lemon. It’s surprisingly light-bodied on the palate, with bathpowder & musk flavours, just medium acidity, and not much presence beyond the mid-palate. Simple and straightforward.

  Very limey with strong mineral notes. A bit gravelly on the palate. Expect it to improve with age

  Delicate floral nose, with almost tropical fruit on the palate, the hallmark of this wine is the balance between the fruit and the acid in the mid to back palate, there is enough fruit to balance the lively acidity, allowing the wine to finish crisp, but not short in the mouth. The wine has enough depth of flavours to ensure it will improve over the medium term
