An interesting class that created lots of discussion. Downside - Too many high alcohols and unbalanced palate plus high SO2. Two golds were very enjoyable as 'drinks' and true to style. The 'cloudy' vermentino rewarded with a silver. An individual style gaining traction in Australia. Debate on this one was abut the V.A. aldehyde level was fine - bring o the anchovies and jamon!!
