---

🍷 Appearance

• Elegant champagne-toned straw to pale blush colour — very light and refined, typical of a blanc de noir with minimal skin contact.

---

👃 Aromas (Nose)

• Fresh stone fruit and orchard aromatics — pear, white peach and Gala apple build the core of the bouquet.

• Delicate secondary notes of apple blossom and subtle white florals add lift and elegance.

• Hints of strawberry and apricot bring a gentle fruit brightness to the nose.

---

👄 Palate (Taste & Texture)

• Crisp and refreshing, with a clean acid backbone that keeps the style bright and thirst-quenching.

• Flavours mirror the aromatics — white peach, pear and a touch of stonefruit dominate the palate.

• A whisper of pink grapefruit zest or citrus lift adds extra vibrancy mid-palate.

• The finish is balanced and gently persistent, with fruit and a little minerality carrying through.
