Delicious, bright, fresh, youthful and ready. Aromas and flavours of fresh brown pears and yellow apple, there’s a layer of white spice and honeysuckle, lees and florals. Youthful on the palate, dry with a decent squeeze from acidity and leesy spice highlights, a contrasting tickle of residual sweetness balances the palate and flavours immediately lengthening the impacts of structure and fruit flavours. Nicely framed and tasty with honeysuckle and core pomaceous fruit flavours. Best from late 2025 through 2029.
