Tasting notes
The palate is no less enticing, ripe white peach, finger lime and lemon sorbet. There is a sweet creamy/biscuity character redolent of freshly baked cheesecake, most likely a lees/ battonage influence. A fine line of balanced mineral like acidity adds length and bodes well for food pairing.
