Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Light gold with natural color; medium legs, non-chill filtered
Nose
Floral fruit basket — apricots, underripe pineapple, lemon, and a green agave-like element. Honey and draff. Estery, high-toned, brandy-like aromas with pomegranate, red cherry, Comice pears, white flowers, butterscotch baking chips, and porridge
Palate
Punchy with rye-like sharpness, mingling with dough, white pepper, lime, and unripe pear. Red fruit — maraschino cherry and currants — followed by nougat, almond croissant, cinnamon, white grapes. Oily mouthfeel. Candy apple and pear chips. Young but characterful with a green, raw edge
Finish
Long finish with virgin oak spice, green fruits, lemon peel, and a hint of clove. Peppery spice and fading sweet orange glaze and vanilla icing. The biodynamic barley arguably adds an extra layer of floral complexity
