A vibrant straw-yellow in colour. Floral, fruity, rich and crisp. The bouquet shows lemon citrus zest, cardamom-clove notes, fresh peach and apricot along with a touch of distant campfire smoke notes before revealing Honeysuckle and spicy carnations. The palate is lean, crisp and dry, while maintaining a core of oily richness that is beguilingly dense and lingering before the profound acidity clears the way for the next sip.
