Judges' Comments

Warren Gibson
Vibrant fresh fruit. Attractive. Slightly sweaty and funky and good length. Very youthful.

Meg Brodtmann
Mineral and struck match aromas. A very delicate wine with flavours of mineral, blackcurrant and gooseberry. The wine was slightly overpowered by the cauliflower.

Dr Ken Dobler
Pale straw yellow. Restrained mineral and dried herb aromas on the nose. The palate is more generous but retains a delicious savoury quality which sits extremely well with savoury food.

Brent Marris
Light elegant nose, hints of green herbal characters on the palate. Good acid balance just lacking intensity. Quite simple and one dimensional. Cauliflower dish keeps the wine light and simple.

Ying Tan
Light, herbal, grassy, dry. Balanced, straightforward Sauvignon Blanc. Cauliflower is neutral with the wine.

Sue Bastian
Pale straw. Delicate flinty and hints of acacia notes. Light bodied but with reasonable fruit weight and some creamy texture. Nice fresh acid finish. The acid becomes more overt with this dish.
