Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright golden honey with sunlit amber highlights
Nose
Ripe pear and baked apples with caramelised demerara sugar, freshly baked biscuits, vanilla custard, cream soda, and a hint of Frosties breakfast cereal.
Palate
Zesty lime marmalade and white grapefruit provide brightness, while vanilla toast, marshmallow and sugared almonds lend creamy sweetness. Pear frangipane and aromatic peach weave through, with a candyfloss lift that lingers into orchard-fruit brightness.
Finish
Buttery popcorn and lime bonbons mingle with ripe pear and aromatic orchard fruit, while fizzy oak spice lingers. A delicate dusting of vanilla icing sugar settles on white grapefruit.
