Exotic fruits dominate the pronounced nose, with aromas of kiwi, banana and green apple, apricots and ripe peaches, with a lifting note of herbal spice. On the palate, the concentration of fruit balances perfectly with the fine lees texture, and the restrained acidity keeps every sip as refreshing as the last. It leaves a long fruity finish with a spicy white pepper aftertaste.
