Tasting Profile
- Nose: Lime, grapefruit and white grape, with honey, sultana and polished oak underneath.
- Palate: Dense and bright, with apricot and lemon curd over nutty sherry.
- Finish: Long, with citrus zest, a hint of dried fruit and warming spice.
Serving & Food
Pour it neat into a tall tulip. Good with sushi, particularly fatty tuna, or with Iberico ham and Marcona almonds.
Good to Know
