Pale golden yellow with a clear, bright sheen.
Nose:
Fresh aromas of tropical fruit, ripe pear, and apple, accented by subtle notes of citrus and vanilla.
Palate:
Medium-bodied with a soft, rounded mouthfeel. Flavors of pineapple, melon, and crisp apple are complemented by gentle oak influence, adding a creamy texture without overpowering the fruit.
Finish:
Smooth and clean, with a lingering note of citrus zest and a whisper of toast.
