Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Light gold with hints of amber, creating a luminous appearance in the glass.
Nose
Fresh white flowers and lemon zest lead the charge, followed by subtle oak spice and a delicate honey sweetness. There's an undercurrent of sea salt and mineral minerality that speaks to the region's terroir.
Palate
Creamy and well-balanced on entry with orchard fruits and vanilla creaminess. The mid-palate develops notes of toasted grain, gentle spice, and a touch of white pepper that adds complexity without overwhelming.
Finish
A medium-length finish with lingering honey, soft oak, and a whisper of coastal salt that leaves the palate refreshed and inviting.
