Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with a warm honey glow and coppery highlights.
Nose
Old fashioned toffee, caramelised red apples and demerara sugar mingle with orange fondant, marzipan and buttery pastry, crowned by apricot glaze and subtle hints of floral and spice.
Palate
Crisp apples and grassy-herbal notes greet the tongue with a medium-bodied mouthfeel. Lemon curd and a delicate dusting of icing sugar sit atop ripe melon, while toasted oak creeps in softly, leaving a refined, lingering balance.
Finish
Green and red apples linger, sour lemon balanced by sweet aromatic spices and warming oak, with hints of apricot-glazed pastries.
