Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden honey with warm amber highlights.
Nose
Ripe orchard fruits mingle with honey and a soft mineral note. A waxy, honeyed cling lingers, while honeysuckle unfurls and a delicate white pepper adds a gentle spice.
Palate
Orchard fruits and honey form a nectarous core, lightly mineral with glow. A waxy mouthfeel warms the tongue as honeysuckle unfurls, accentuated by a gentle white pepper lift. The finish is long and elegant, balancing sweetness with a measured, subtle bitterness.
Finish
An enduring, elegant finish that lingers with balanced sweetness and a whisper of bitterness. The waxy texture cups honeysuckle and orchard fruit, warmed by a gentle white pepper, fading to soft mineral notes as the finish slowly dissolves.
