Tasting Notes:
 
Cardamom spice, confected yellow peaches and bergamot with lime pith are all evident on the nose. The lees influence gives aromas of almond butter, banana cream and hints of vanilla pod. The acidity balances the richer flavours, giving a fresh palate with confit lemon and tart tangerine with lightly toasted almonds on the finish.
