👁 In the Glass:
Pale gold with a gentle sheen—inviting and elegant.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromatic and bold with notes of poached pear, quince paste, and warm toast. Subtle hints of vanilla, nutmeg, and floral spice lend complexity and charm.

👅 On the Palate:
Generous and full-bodied, with ripe stone fruit, greengage plum, and creamy layers of melted butter and oak spice. The texture is broad and silky, lifted by a fresh, citrus-tinged finish that keeps it balanced and vibrant.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Delicious with smoked chicken, roasted pumpkin pasta, or a feta and herb tart. Its richness and lift make it a versatile match for bold, savoury dishes and creamy textures.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Drinking beautifully now, but will develop more savoury, nutty tones over the next 3–5 years.
