Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery mahogany hues and a warm honey-gold glow.
Nose
Aromas of stewed fruits—grape, raisin and sultana—intertwined with bright citrus zest. The Moscatel sherry finish lends honeyed sweetness, with notes of orange and apricot, and a subtle touch of fig, all framed by gentle oak spice.
Palate
Luxuriously sherried and full-bodied, the palate unfolds with stewed fruits—grapes, raisins, and sultanas—woven with bright citrus zest. Rich Moscatel sweetness adds depth and a syrupy texture, supported by creamy oak. Finishes long and warm, with lingering fruit marmalade and a touch of spice.
Finish
An enduring finish carried by Moscatel sherry sweetness from the octave casks. It unfolds with stewed grape, raisin and sultana, lifted by bright citrus zest, then settles into a warm, spicy fade. A refined, sherried glow that lingers long and velvet-soft on the palate.
