Tasting profile

Ripe orchard fruit (apple, pear), melon, citrus zest, subtle toasty oak, and hints of vanilla. Balanced palate with moderate acidity and a clean, fruit-driven finish.

Evolution: In youth (2021-2023), very fresh and fruit-focused. By 2024-2025, may develop hints of hazelnut/brioche from maturation, but fruit freshness may fade after 2025.

At peak: At its best 2022-2024, combining fresh fruit, gentle oak, and vibrant acidity; after 2025, may show diminished aromatics and freshness.
