Tasting Notes

Nose

Enticing aromas of juicy peaches, apricots, and freshly cut apples, complemented by floral tones and a hint of honey. Background notes of vanilla and light oak add refinement.

Palate

Soft and fresh on the palate with notes of white grapes, citrus zest, and almond. A creamy layer of vanilla and gentle spice follows, perfectly balanced with the fruity core.

Finish

Medium-length and elegant, with lingering fruitiness, subtle floral hints, and a dry touch of oak and grape skin. The finish is delicate and refreshing.
