Class Comment: Lovely to see a bracket of new emerging white varieties with wines that have been thought about. Awarded
Wines had texture, acid and fruit balance. A special mention to the Grenache Gris that was so close to a Gold but was just slightly
lacking in fruit persistence to get over the line.

Class Comment: Wow, what a class! Six callbacks, all with strong support for various reasons. The top wine was pure and austere,
but with fantastic texture and length. This is not to be dismissive of those with perhaps more ripeness and winemaking influence,
these wines have also been awarded and very narrowly missed out on the trophy. A highlight of the show with many beautiful
wines, reflective of the vintage.
