It's a cliché but a pleasure to judge, lovely group of Rieslings. Good to see diversity of style, some skins/phenolics adding that extra layer of complexity. Top wine chockers full of pristine, fragrant Riesling fruit, part citrus, part floral, part crunchy apple - just lovely. Many other golds of diverse styles.

A few examples of great colour, pale pink but vibrant. Palate disappointing with acid and sweetness balance issues, and harsh phenolics. Several wines appeared to be not originally destined for rose.

A combination of graceful Shiraz counted with some not so graceful. Top wine a superb example of medium bodied, bright, spicy Clare shiraz. Non medal wines over oaked, poor oak or micro unstable.

Without doubt one of the best classes we have ever judged - a real pleasure. 9 golds across five vintages. Best examples retained finest colours, fruit and freshness. Top gold a beautiful example of aged Clare Riesling.
