Tasting Notes
Colour
Sun-warmed golden amber with subtle coppery glints.
Nose
An inviting carnival of candy sweetness and citrus lift: apple bon-bons and orange fondant mingle with creamy curd-like oak, white grapefruit and white chocolate cookie dough. Cream soda sparkle with lime zest and vanilla pod custard notes weaving through, delivering a bright, confectionery nose with a creamy vanilla undercurrent.
Palate
Peppery white chocolate greets the palate, with bright lime curd and creamy soda notes. Candy-shop pick-and-mix sweetness mingles with champagne truffles and custard powder, while fresh cereal and green fruit lend a buoyant lift. Angelica and subtle stock-syrup spices thread through, leaving a lively, gourmand finish.
Finish
Chocolate limes and pear drops linger, with herbal, peppery notes. Green apples in icing sugar mingle with vanilla sherbet and candy-heart sweetness, all against a backdrop of drying oak.
