Bright straw colour with golden edges. Aromas of lime and red apple infused with a mix of kerosene and oily toast like characters are followed by subtle spicy dried honey notes. On the palate flavours of lime and red apple are to the fore. Ensuing are toast, subtle honey and spice characters. Texturally full and rounded it finishes dry with crisp acidity and a toasty kerosene laced aftertaste.
