Aromas:
Stone fruits are at the core with grilled white peach and nectarine. Creamy nougat and cashew nut arise from refined French oak treatment, with an almond biscotti nuance.
Tasting Profile:
Stone fruits ensue, accompanied by a crisp Granny Smith apple (granita) aspect. There’s a striking fruit sweetness that gives a real juiciness to the palate, with a fine-chalk, dust-like acid structure. Both linear and plush at the same time. Lovely texture and minerality.
