TASTING NOTES
- Nose: Unexpectedly fruit-forward with bright pineapple and green apple notes, reminiscent of yellow Starburst candy. Underlying aromas of wet concrete and subtle hints of lemongrass provide depth and complexity
- Palate: A vibrant fruit medley featuring fresh kiwi and citrus candies, with notes evoking lemon-lime sports drink. The profile evolves to reveal wet stone minerality and charred green peppers
- Finish: Complex interplay of honey-glazed jalapeos and fresh mint, complemented by sugar-dusted grapefruit and persistent sage notes. Distinguished by a unique chalky texture that adds to the experience
