Colour: Pale straw yellow adorned with clear, delicate greenish reflections.
Aroma: Highly expressive and aromatic on the nose, delivering vibrant scents of bitter orange, bergamot, and cedar, beautifully laced with floral notes of orange blossom, jasmine, and rosehip.
Palate: The palate mirrors its aromatic profile with accuracy, offering a flavorful and full sip that balances its distinct citrus notes with a deep, maritime sapidity and hints of green apple and fresh mint.
Body: Well-structured medium body with a highly pleasing presence.
