Inviting aroma with prominent notes of ripe pear, fig, and banana, complemented by a touch of lactic sweetness and a subtle cereal undertone. It's initially gentle and off-dry on the palate, with a refreshing acidity and a savoury umami character. The medium alcohol and medium-plus body create a velvety mouthfeel. Flavour-wise, expect a medium intensity with a delightful balance of lactic notes (think milk and fresh cream), ripe pear, and a hint of dried apricot. The finish is medium-length and leaves a pleasant impression.

We also tried it warm. Heating brought out a sweeter profile while retaining a touch of spice. Interestingly, warming also introduced subtle green notes of oak and dried leaves alongside the existing cereal character. We found the warm version particularly enjoyable!
