Fresh and highly aromatic, with vibrant notes of spring blossoms—orchid, jasmine, and white flowers—interwoven with hints of ripe stone fruit such as apricot and peach, and a gentle chestnut sweetness.
Flavor
Elegant and layered, opening with a bright, sweet freshness. Delicate vegetal notes of tender greens and young beans unfold into a soft fruitiness reminiscent of melon and apricot, balanced by a light nutty undertone and a subtle, refreshing umami. The profile is refined, lively, and harmonious.
Mouthfeel
Silky and light-bodied, with a smooth, supple texture that glides across the palate. Clean and delicate, with no astringency when brewed with care.
Finish
Long, clean, and refreshing, with a lingering sweetness and returning floral-fruity notes. A gentle cooling sensation and soft minerality leave a refined and uplifting aftertaste.
