Sensory Profile:
Pale straw in colour. Aromas of orange blossom, green apple, and white peach are complemented by floral notes of chamomile and honeysuckle, with hints of lemon balm, cinnamon, and mint. The palate is bright and zesty, with minerality, lemon curd, crème brûlée, and ripe melon. A subtle chalkiness and soft barrel undertones add depth. The finish is exotic and lingering, with banana, starfruit, D’Anjou pear, baking spice, candied citrus, vanilla, and marzipan.
