Toni Paterson, First Term Panellist 2020 Competition
“Subtle stone fruit with lemon and herb accents. The light-bodied palate is taut, assertive and lemony. However, I do not think the wine has enough fruit weight to go with the food as, with the dish, the wine looks a little shrill and skinny.”
Jennifer Docherty, First Term Panellist 2020 Competition
“Pungent with grass and fresh squeezed citrus fruit flavours. Refreshing and zesty on the palate.”
Brent Marris, Fourteenth Term Panellist 2020 Competition
“Bright green grassey fruit with layers of green apple and citrus flavours. A herbal caffer lime palate with sound acid structure and lovely, lively length on the palate. Brightness of the wine with its acid shines through with this dish.”
Sam Kurtz, First Term Panellist 2020 Competition
“Pale straw green, herb, bean, cut grass, hint of tropical, light weight, slightly lean.”
Stuart James Halliday, Fifth Term Panellist 2020 Competition
“Fresh cut grass, herbaceous characteristics leap from the glass, bright and fresh, gooseberry, tropical fruits, a savoury finish.”

Andrea Pritzker, Fourth Term Panellist 2020 Competition
“Opens with lifted grassy aromatics, and an array of tropical fruits, mango, passionfruit and guava. Excellent intensity, power and drive with racy acidity leading to a long persistent finish. The wine’s bright aromatics were slightly subdued when paired with the dish.”
