700ml mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: Aromatically grassy, with sugar-coated butter biscuits and brioche. Creamy citrus undertones follow – lemon-and-white-chocolate truffles. There is a an intense dustiness, like an old wooden box from a forgotten attic.
Palate: Candy apples, covered in hazelnuts, lead on to vanilla essence, crystalised pineapple and chocolate-covered honeycomb. Very light chamomile tea adds a floral note.
Finish: Quite mellow and slightly grassy – lentil -and-beetroot crisps, sweet mead, nutmeg and sticky almond syrup.
