| Tasting Notes from the Producer | |
| Aromas (with water) | Noticing the nose opening out… it’s fresh as a breeze with subtle herbs and summer fruits. |
| Aromas (without water) | … the nose is brimming with luscious red berries and hints of ginger and cinnamon, complemented by a subtle sense of smoke. |
| Palate (with water) | Peppery with a sweet toffee note followed by a slight saltiness and a subtle smoky edge. |
| Palate (without water) | The initial peppery palate gives way to a ripe fruit bowl of flavours… strawberries, raspberries, orange zest… and you can detect gorgeous milk chocolate drops, too. |
