Tasting notes
Colour: Copper Gold
Nose: Fresh and lively. A fruit salad of green apple, grape and pear. Warmer notes of freshly cut hay follow. Fragrant eucalyptus infused wood shavings
Palate: Full and soft with waves of chewy caramel. A hint of ginger syrup reveals a warming spiciness. Lovely neat, but water develops the spiciness with notes of red fruits like pomegranate
Finish: Dry and long. Crushed brazil nuts
