Sight
Pale gold with warm amber highlights.
Nose
Youthful and lively with green apple, pear, and light cereal notes. Subtle hints of vanilla and toasted wood develop as it opens up.
Palate
Fresh and crisp entry with orchard fruit character balanced by light oak tannins. A touch of malted barley sweetness and gentle spice unfolds mid-palate.
Finish
Short to medium finish with lingering oak and a whisper of citrus zest. Clean and refreshing with a drying spice note.
