taste
A medium-bodied, smooth, brisk cup which starts on a soft floral tonality and gradually recedes to reveal delectable fruity flavors akin to cantaloupe towards the middle; rendering a sweet-fruity impression on the palate. Furtive undertones of fresh greens teases the palate along the edges interlaced with a lush wave of citrus; adding a distinct character and crispness to the liquor.
