A complex bouquet of white peach, nectarine, grapefruit pith and lime blossom is layered with struck flint, roasted cashew and subtle vanilla oak. The palate is vibrant and beautifully textured, balancing concentrated stone fruit with creamy lees richness and bright citrus acidity, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish.
