Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
at first, it’s very much like the official bottlings (green apple, gooseberries, melon), but with more almonds and macadamia nuts, along with whiffs of fresh white tea leaves and lemongrass. A hint of mango too, possibly from the first fill barrel. With water: an oilier nose emerges (peanut oil), alongside grapefruit, passion fruit, and melon rind. It really loves water
restaurant Palate
and boom, there’s that limoncello again, but also a touch of natural rubber and sage, maybe even fresh basil. Some jelly babies and another splash of lemon balm water. There’s a certain richness, probably from the barrel. With water: beautifully developing once more, almost reminiscent of Rosebank. That richness is back too
timer Finish
rather long, almost waxy this time, with a clean, crisp note right at the end
