Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with a coppery glow and a hint of ruby-hued depth.
Nose
Bright aromas of kiwi and starfruit mingle with crushed white grapes, hints of Loire Chenin Blanc, wet marble and lemon zest. A whisper of brine, gooseberries, osmanthus, and oak char adds depth.
Palate
Tangy citrus peels meet bergamot and grapefruit, entwined with wood spice and charred oak. Ripe pineapple and white grape juice lift the mid-palate, while green pepper, blackthorn salt, and chamomile lend vibrancy and a subtle saline edge.
Finish
Lemon zest lingers with chamomile and kiwi, touched by a whisper of white pepper. A long, gently waxy finish.
