Tasting Notes
Colour
Radiant amber-gold with sunlit honey tones and a coppery edge.
Nose
Polished wax, lemon zest and sea-salt breeze lead the nose, as orchard fruits glow with honey and a whisper of toffee. Subtle sherry sweetness brings dark fig, raisin and almond, adding quiet depth to the aroma.
Palate
Silky, waxy texture with a light coastal sheen. Flavors unfold as orange zest and dried fig mingle with honeyed sweetness, while sherry adds cocoa, raisin, and spice. Subtle almond and cinnamon ride atop polished oak, delivering a warm, rounded mouthfeel. The finish is long and maritime, with lingering chocolatey fruit and a whisper of brine.
Finish
Long, refined finish with waxy coastal sweetness; citrus peel and honey drift across the palate, melting into warm oak and a subtle kiss of dried fruit that lingers.
