Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden straw with warm amber highlights, a sun-kissed, honeyed glow.
Nose
Elegant and floral at first, it leads to leafy, salted citrus, then exotic fruit—lychee, Galia melon and quince—earthy, waxy undertones, and a late whisper of almond milk, cinnamon and perfumed candles.
Palate
Waxy kumquat and quince lead the palate, tempered by earthy oats-and-honey sweetness. Leafy lemon balm mingles with salted almond, while green tea and a cookie-dough note lend a poised, textured finish.
Finish
Spicy wine gums mingle with peppery oak, finishing with earthy oatmeal and waxy orchard fruits.
