TASTING NOTES
Pale straw hues, delicate, persistent bead. Fine citrus and strawberry nose supported by underlying biscotti, bready yeast lees influence. An elegant, creamy palate offering an intensity of strawberry and lychee fruit characters, enhanced by a refined minerality. Fresh, natural acidity provides backbone and finesse, supporting exceptional persistence of flavour.
