Tropical and citrus aromas of guava, passionfruit, grapefruit and lime with floral and fennel notes. Palate is zesty, flinty and creamy from barrel ageing, showing nashi pear, bright acidity and a long, sapid grapefruit‑pith finish.

Food Pairing
Western: oysters, grilled prawns, lobster, roast chicken, creamy pasta, pork belly. Asian: sashimi/sushi, Hainanese chicken rice, Thai/ Vietnamese seafood salads, grilled miso salmon, vegetable stir-fries.

Production Method
Each variety harvested and fermented separately; 100% barrel fermented (mostly older barriques), relatively hard pressing and lees stirring for texture; matured ~11 months in oak before blending and bottling.
