Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with warm copper-gold sheen and a hint of mahogany at the rim.
Nose
Peaches and cream mingle with coastal wet rocks, while kiwi and white pepper lift the aroma; a delicate Riesling note threads through, brightening with crisp, mineral freshness.
Palate
Velvety, gently textured palate that feels soft as silk. Mandarin citrus lifts the sweetness of icing sugar and jelly-like gelatine, while a persistent mineral backbone keeps the finish crisp and stony.
Finish
Honeydew melon and waxy peaches drift into a delicate candle-wax glow, finishing with a clean slate mineral bite. Cool and lightly creamy, it lingers with orchard-fresh sweetness.
