Pinot Grigio 2011
Classic Italian freshness and crispness, with citric and apple notes, but was far from simple having texture and balance.
Friulano 2011
A similar intensity yet delicacy of acidity, but was more textural and rich in the mid-palate, showing salty minerality and some skin contact complexity.
Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Very elegant tropical fig and passionfruit aromas, with light touches of smoky, was bold and fresh on the palate but very approachable.
Traminer 2011
Challenging aromatically as it was very reductive under sulphur, but had a very wild character on the palate, dry and savoury with a character reminiscent of hot dog water.
