Martin Moran, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“A lighter type of sweet wine with aromas of ripe apple, honey and lemon and interestingly the dish seems to add richness to the wine.”
Martin Williams, Fourth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Bright pale straw colour. Fine lemon-lime blossom and zest aromas, very clean and fresh. Light and lively palate; balanced sweetness and clean, mouth-watering acidity. Clean, slightly firm finish with appreciable alcohol warmth. With food: good combination, though alcohol is still evident. ”
Brent Marris, Thirteenth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Mid straw in colour, this wine shows lovely floral aromas with a lovely sweet cherry blossom palate. Great acidity and fruit balance ensure this wine does not finish too sweet. Balanced concentrated and fruit driven. A Great match as the dessert does not come across too sweet. ”
Ying Hsien Tan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
