Class 16 Light Red or Rose table wine - For early consumption, 2014 or 2015 vintage

Class comments: A good class of rose wines, ensuring rose is a style you plan to make and not an after

thought. Top two wines are excellent examples of rose.

Class 17 Dry Red table wine, Pinot Noir, any vintage

Class comments: An overall weak class, wines are lacking fruit drive and freshness. Pinot is made in the

vineyard, work harder in the vineyard.

examples.

Class 26 Dry Red table wine, Other varieties and blends not covered by Classes 16 to 25, any vintage

Class comments: Low scoring class due to many wines being forward developed or well past their best. Top

wine was varietal and balanced and a good example of a more elegant Durif. Special mention of the

Tannat, which was very varietal and by the nature of the variety can be polarising. However, it was a good

example and would be better with less oak.

Class 27 White, red or rose sparkling wine, any vintage

Class 27 Cont.

Class comments: A below par classthis year, with many wines being forward developed and / of lacking

autolysis complexity. Top wine was fresh, bright and varietal, but lacked the drive to score higher.

Class 28 Apera and varietal or blended fortified wine not covered by classes 29 or 30, Dry to sweet

Class comments: Good to see an interest remains in fortified. Top wine showed good age characters and

Class 29 Ruby, Vintage or Tawny fortified wine, red wines only

Class comments: Interesting class. Older wine was stale and would benefit from freshening. Top wines had

vibrancy of fruit but needed more definition to score higher

Class 30 Muscat/Topaque, Red or White
