Nothing to add to my note from May 2018. It was a Trophy Winner from the 2012 Perth Royal Wine Show for Best WA White Wine. This was in the era when Judges were looking for a more restrained style. This wine certainly fills that bill. The next wine in the tasting was the 2009 Leeuwin Estate Art Series which blew it away IMO.

Dec 16th, 2018Pale lemon in colour. A funky leesy nose. Too acidic (citrus and grapefruit) and lean for my palate. This Wine won the Trophy for Best WA White Wine at the 2012 Perth Royal Wine Show. The judges must have been looking at the newer lean style back then - now going back to the fleshier Peach styles these days. Will the acid ever diminish with this wine?
