Tasting Notes

The profile is airy, complex, and quietly expressive.
Mouthfeel
Light, silky, and refreshing, with a crisp yet supple texture. Smooth and clean, offering clarity and precision without any harshness or bitterness.
Finish
Long, pure, and gently sweet, with lingering floral and green notes. A soft cooling sensation and returning sweetness create an elegant, tranquil aftertaste.
