Yellow peach, winter melon and Bosch pear. Mandarin peel and frangipani. Candied cashews, sesame and lemon balm. Steep acidity that falls in line with its creamy mouthfeel and orchard fruit frame. Not overworked but naturally fresh and juicy. A subtle hint of tutti fruity tropical notes too. This sits comfortable in its price point, with nicely timed ripe fruit and gently oak influence. Drink now with a good cheese toastie.
