Tasting Notes
Colour
Copper-tinged amber with a soft ruby sheen.
Nose
Vibrant tangy fruit rises on the nose, mingling with roasted coffee and a saline kiss of salted strawberries for a bright, coastal aroma with refined depth.
Palate
A luxurious blanket of sultana sweetness envelops the palate, folded with velvety dark chocolate and a glint of spiced chutney. Dried fruit depth sits against a subtle, savory spice, leaving a long, polished finish with a whisper of cocoa and warmth.
Finish
Roasted nuts and figs emerge, carried by a delicate hint of rosemary; a warm, savory finish that lingers with nutty fruit and subtle herbal brightness.
