Tasting Notes
Nose: Light and floral with notes of fresh chamomile, lemon verbena, and a hint of alpine herbs. Subtle white wine aromas blend with a touch of citrus peel and a faint mineral quality.
Palate: Crisp and refreshing with a delicate sweetness. Flavors of green apple, white grape, and lemon zest are balanced by gentle herbal notes of thyme and sage. A clean, slightly bitter undertone reminiscent of white grapefruit pith emerges mid-palate.
Finish: Medium-length and dry with lingering herbal notes. A pleasant warmth develops, accompanied by a subtle nutty character and a whisper of white pepper. The finish concludes with a clean, slightly chalky mineral quality that invites another sip.
