Honeyed and floral with honeysuckle and jasmin, candied orange peel, lemon and lime zest, passion fruit and fresh apricot.

Taste

Slightly sweet with a soft mouthfeel. Flavours of honey, candied orange peel, dandelions, mango and passion fruit with light acidity, faint pine and crushed mint leaves.
