Immediate, linear notes of lime leaf, flint, ginger, jasmine and graham. With air this fleshes out with secondary notes of nectarine, peach and the almighty feijoa (the South American pineapple guava fruit). The feel no matter the fruit is mineral. On the palate, flavours of tangerine, peach, cream and lightly toasted grain are noted.
