Tasting Notes

• Appearance: A refined medium golden-straw colour, showing maturity with clarity and vibrancy. 

• Nose: Bright citrus (candied lemons, mandarin peel), white orchard fruits (pear, fresh apple), brioche and toasted hazelnut notes, with hints of gentle herbs and spice (licorice, basil leaf). 

• Palate: Medium to full-bodied with plush texture yet serious backbone. Expect layered flavors of ripe orchard fruit, subtle stone fruit, pastry-like richness, tempered by fine mousse, fresh acidity, and a mineral/saline undercurrent. 

• Finish: Long and elegant — lingering citrus zest, toasted almond skin, gentle sea-salt/salinity, and a final whisper of smoke or herb.
