Tasting Note
Appearance:
A brilliant pale gold, like spring sunlight cascading over honey, glimmering with delicate hints of straw gold.
Nose:
A bright and juicy burst of fresh fruit greets the senses—tropical notes of pineapple and banana interweave with the honeyed sweetness of white grapes. Gradually, the aroma of citrus peel unfolds, adding elegance and clarity to the fruity layers. A touch of floral sweetness lingers at the end, rounding out the bouquet with a gentle transition from vivacity to softness—a bright rhythm rich with inviting fruit.
Palate:
Smooth and refined on entry, the texture is light yet carries a pleasant weight. Sweet and slightly tart notes of white grapes bloom instantly, creating a silky mouthfeel reminiscent of grape jelly. As the flavors evolve, subtle acidity and a mild bitterness from fruit peels emerge, intertwined with delicate spice from the oak cask. This adds depth and complexity, leading to a warm, elegant finish—like the lingering scent in a sun-drenched orchard at dusk, touched by a gentle breeze—long, graceful, and thought-provoking.
