45 Class Comment: Award wines were impressive. Aromatic are important - but texture & flavour can also be part of the wine. Judges thought there were too many bland wines lacking in concentration.
Class 6 White blend or other variety not included in class 2-5, any vintage Exhibit Number 1
51.5 S Class Comment: A fascinating class which caused good debate. The white Shiraz being an example. Top award was a good example in our view. Some of these varieties could be great in time in the region.
