Tasting note

Nose

A subtle but layered aroma that excites the senses. On the nose, a delicate scent of marmalade unfolds, enriched with delicate notes of orange blossom water and a hint of citrus. Sultana rolls and warm praline provide a deliciously sweet undertone, while acacia flowers add an elegant, floral freshness.

Taste

The first sip offers a rich, full-bodied experience. The flavour is complex and balanced, with lively accents of citrus and the sweet softness of orange blossom water. Warm praline emerges, enveloped by the flavour of freshly baked sultana rolls, adding a pleasing depth and sweetness. Each sip reveals new layers of flavour, with subtle hints of marmalade shimmering through the intensity.

Finish

The finish is long and warming, with a lingering sweetness of warm praline and a refreshing touch of citrus. Floral notes of acacia flowers linger gently, making for an elegant and refreshing finish.
