Its crisp acidity is complemented by a subtle creaminess, a result of its time maturing. Notes of dried herbs, orange peel, and a touch of spice add depth and complexity to the profile.

Finish: The finish is long, refreshing, and elegantly balanced. Lingering notes of berries are joined by hints of almond and a savory minerality, ensuring a memorable experience with every sip.
