Aroma
Fresh green leafiness and tender spring shoots, layered with bright citrus zest and a gentle touch of wildflowers.
Appearance
Golden-yellow
Taste
A poised, medium-bodied cup that captures the freshness of early spring with clarity and finesse. It opens on vivid green, forest-like notes, evoking tender shoots and moist undergrowth, before brightening into a lively citrus lift reminiscent of lemon zest and soft lemonade. The mid-palate reveals a gentle warmth, layered with fleeting wildflower nuances and a touch of natural sweetness. The finish is clean, lingering with hints of citrus and a light honeyed softness, leaving behind a quietly expressive, well-rounded cup.
