Tasting Notes

Aromas of fresh-squeezed lime, lemon zest, and mandarin orange blend with hints of apricot and fresh cut grass to create a complex, enticing nose. A smooth mouthfeel and buoyant, mouthwatering acidity showcase a delicious mélange of flavors. Fresh white peach and luscious tropical fruit are balanced with Persian lime and pomelo that thread through the palate. Vanilla crème brûlée and traces of a rich mineral essence appear late and linger long in the finish.
